Obama's Funniest Jokes At The White House Correspondence Dinner

Though his divisive presence pales in comparison to the current presidential candidates, President Barack Obama has definitely done his fair share of splitting actions over the past eight years. The political sphere can be a place of anger, fighting and disrespect. Especially with this incredibly dramatic election season, it can become hard to stomach.

Enter the White House Correspondence Dinner- the time of year where DJ Khaled can sit next to Arianna Huffington, and no one bats an eye.It may be my favorite government event. This was Obama's final attempt to be funny, and boy did he pull through.

For his speech, the lame duck President left no barres held, and went after the front-runners of both parties, himself, and many others. Here are his top jokes, in my humble opinion:

"You all look great. The end of the Republic has never looked better."

"Last week Prince George showed up to our meeting in his bathrobe. That was a slap in the face"

(iIt's true, he did, but look how cute he is.)

"The last time I was this high, I was trying to decide on my major"

"They say Donald lacks the foreign policy experience to be President. But, in fairness he's spent years meeting with leaders from around the world. Miss Sweden, Miss Argentina, Miss Azerbaijan..."

lol

"Next year at this time, someone else will be standing here in this very spot and It's anyone's guess who she will be."

"You've got to admit it, though, Hillary trying to appeal to young voters is a little bit like your relative who just signed up for Facebook. Dear America, did you get my poke"

Long live the "chillary" snapchat

"Obama out" followed by a LITERAL ACTUAL MIC DROP.

Iconic. But are we surprised? Remember this?

I will miss this man. Whatever you can say about him, he sure knows how to laugh at himself and those around him. I also get to study abroad in Cuba because of him, so thank you, Obama. You will be missed.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
