Why Obama is the Coolest President
Reddit

Barack Obama is, unarguably, the coolest president this country as ever seen. This has nothing to do with policy, beliefs, or what he's done, but the sheer fact that his personality is so fun-loving and relatable. Even if Obama was not president, he would still be someone we'd all want to hang out with and here's why. However, this is in no way a comprehensive list because a list of all the reasons why Obama is the coolest would probably go on forever.

1. He's great at jokes.

Despite the constant stress of running the country, Obama always has jokes up his sleeve that he's ready to crack in the middle of any speech.

2. He dropped his mic at the end of his speech.

I don't think this even needs explanation.

3. He wore a mask of himself.


He tricked people into thinking he wasn't Obama by wearing an Obama mask. Classic and yet still hilarious.

4. He's aware of current memes

He's aware of current memes that are going around the internet but even better, he understands how dogs should wear pants in said memes.

5. He makes dad jokes.


Yes, I know, his jokes are already one of his high points I mentioned, but dad jokes are on a different level. They're worse, which somehow makes them funnier, and therefore better. Obama has proven himself to be the king of dad jokes.

6. He's relatable.

Slow wifi is the arch enemy of us all, but we all still suffer through it at some point in our lives. Now, we know that The President of the United States is no exception to that, we feel closer to him, it makes him more human. The fact that trivial things like slow wifi annoys Obama as much as it annoys us makes us feel like he understands. It's also entertaining to know that not even the White House can get good wifi.

7. He makes fun of himself.

There's nothing more refreshing than a guy who can poke a little fun at himself.

8. He's down to earth.

Not even the President or at least the White House staff can be bothered to clean mirrors. It's just not a task anyone can convince themselves is necessary.

9. He's good with kids.

When a video of a little girl crying because Obama couldn't be president anymore went around the internet, he invited her to the White House to reassure her that it'd be fine. How sweet.

10. He's REALLY good with kids.

He's genuine and kids love him back. It's heartwarming.

11. He made a non-offensive gay joke.

He made a gay joke one time, but not the kind where it's rude and everyone's uncomfortable, the kind where he acknowledges that other people might think he's gay and he's fine with that.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
