15 Photos Of Obama's Presidency That Will Make You Ugly Cry

Throughout the past eight years, the photographer for President Obama, Pete Souza, has shot almost two million photos of Obama. He captured his life from many different angles, showing sides of him that we never would have known he had without these pictures. He showed that Barack Obama was not only our president but a human being with a huge heart. Behind all of the politics and leading our country was a man who loved to kick back his feet and have a little fun. As we wrap up his presidency and get ready to say goodbye, we say goodbye to the man who loved animals, children, family and of course, his country. The photos that Souza released showed us an entirely different side of the man who we knew as our President.


1. His love for animals, especially his dogs Bo and Sunny.


2. His ability to make a child's day.


3. The unconditional love he has for his wife.


4. His good sportsmanship.


5. The carefree way he wasn't afraid to act goofy.


6. His love of fast food. (Sorry Michelle)


7. His ability to not only be President, but also a wonderful father and husband.


8. The way he cared about and supported his fellow politicians.


9. The way he always made time to see people who were fans or supported him.


10. How he kicks back and makes time to do "normal" things like watch the Super Bowl.


11. His casual attire around others sometimes that helps them feel less intimidated.


12. His natural ability to play a joke/take a joke.


13. All of the faces he makes that are entirely relatable.


14. Who could forget his friendship with Biden?


15. And of course, the way he led our country.


Thanks, Obama. You'll be greatly missed.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
