Politics Aside: Obama Is The Best

Barack Obama is a family man, sports fan, motivational speaker, trend setter and President of our home. So before you're quick to judge him on being a democrat, remember that he's human.

Politics Aside: Obama Is The Best

When it comes to politics, everyone has a different opinion. Some are vocal about it, and some like to keep their thoughts private. I've seen opinions from both sides of the spectrum, and I'm here to tell you that you won't hear mine in this article. Presidency is something every kindergartener wishes to obtain. That is, until they realize how much work and responsibility it takes. Barack Obama lived up to be what he probably wrote down as his future career in kindergarten, and wow, did he live up to it.


Obama is a family man

Obama is hip

He seems to always be keeping up with the latest trends in social media. This is something that sets him aside from past presidents, and that makes him admirable and even adorable. He even becomes a meme himself, sometimes.

Mr. and Mrs. Obama

Their love story could be made into a movie. (No, really, why hasn't it yet?) They've been together through it all, and still love each other at the end of each and every day. Relationship goals.

Obama is a phenomenal speaker

Call me biased since he just gave the commencement speech at Rutgers' graduation ceremony, but he knows how to speak in front of a crowd of any size. He was used as an example many times in my Communication classes for knowing how to keep the audience's attention. He makes it look so effortless just by how relaxed he is, and he knows when to crack a few jokes.

Obama still gets out to watch sports

Being that Obama is an avid basketball fan, he still gets out of the house when he can to support his favorite teams.

Obama isn't to be messed with

If there's one person you'll probably always lose a debate to, it's him. He probably knows you better than you know yourself. Don't plan on "popping off" anytime soon around him.


Barack Obama is a family man, sports fan, motivational speaker, trend setter and President of our home. So before you're quick to judge him on being a democrat, remember that he's human: he's more than what you label him as. He had a life before presidency, and he'll have one after. Don't let the media fool you. He's a personable guy who doesn't let negative opinions get to him. This is just a chapter in his and our lives, and I'm so grateful to be able to appreciate him during it. #ThanksObama for an appreciable eight years.

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.
