Forget Politics, Let's Talk About The First Lady's Karaoke Skills

Keep rockin' out Michelle, you go girl!

Forget Politics, Let's Talk About The First Lady's Karaoke Skills

Politics, politics, blah blah blah. I know, the presidential election is coming up, and we need to pay attention to the impending doom that is sure to come around in November. But can we please forget all that for a minute? There is something else we need to chat about: The First Lady's karaoke skills.

James Corden's most recent segment of Carpool Karaoke featured First Lady Michelle Obama, and they rocked out to all the favorites. Missy Elliot even joined in for a little jam sesh. Put your political opinions aside, and appreciate the fact that our First Lady was hip enough to rock out. Who cares what I think about her hubby's policies, but I gained so much respect for her. Politics are tense, and consistently argued. Yet she was funny, lighthearted, and shoot dang Michelle, you go girl!

I get that politicians (and their families) are put in the spotlight, and are therefore expected to maintain a certain level of prim and proper. But you can't help but smile when the President's wife can keep up with Queen B's "Single Ladies!" So much mad respect for that woman.

Corden and Michelle didn't talk about the election, or tense policies; Michelle's personal passion of education for girls did come up, which added to my respect for her. Again, let's forget Republicans and Democrats, and let's appreciate what the First Lady does: She rocks out with James Corden and strives to bring education to young women. Our political scene needs more fun, more love, and more lighthearted spirits. I personally believe that we as a country could fix a lot of problems if we placed our world's leaders in a car with James Corden and required them to get down and boogie.

Thank you First Lady. You took the grim political scene and made me smile. You didn't start smashing in the other side, or start a war between social activists. You merely had some fun and made us laugh, you made us want to hang out and grab a cup of coffee with you. You showed us that politicians and their families are people too! Keep rockin' girl.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
