Like him or hate him, President Obama is a pretty cool guy. Whether you are a conservative, a liberal or a independent, let's just take a moment to flash back on some of Obama's coolest moments as President.

1. Obama's famous outros at the White House Correspondent's dinner

Every year the White House Correspondent's dinner takes place to celebrate the cooperation between journalists and the government in promoting transparency in government. Obama, being the cool cat that he is, ends his speech by dropping the mic and saying, "Obama out!"

2. Obama responding to critics of his administration's ISIS policy

3. Obama had some jokes for the sitting speaker of the house John Boehner. It's just a joke, their bromance is well documented.


4. In this image, a 5-year old black boy asks Obama: "I want to know if my hair is just like yours." President Obama's responded affectionately, "Why don’t you touch it and see for yourself?”


5. In 2015, BuzzFeed convinced Obama to come on to do a skit that promoted his new HealthCare website.His Presidency is the first viral presidency after all.


6. On one night close to Halloween, a staffer's kid got into the President's office. What did Obama decide to do? Play with the staffer's son. Unfortunately for Obama, he got caught in Spider-man's web!


7. Last Summer, Obama spoke and sang Amazing Grace during the eulogy of the Reverend Clementa Pinckney who was killed in the Charleston Shooting last Summer.

8. In 2008, that moment where he referenced Jay Z's song "Dirt of your Shoulder."

9. That moment when President Obama announced the death of Osama Bin Laden and did the most amazing swag walk you've ever seen.


10. That moment in 2015 where he went on Jimmy Fallon's show to do a hilarious segment where he read out loud some of the numerous mean tweets. Indeed, he is no stranger to talk show appearances.


11. That moment Obama put Trump on blast by dropping some bars...oh wait, that was an Obama impersonator? Well, close enough!

Honestly, Obama is a cool dude. It's pretty hard to catch all his moments of coolness, but one thing is for sure, he definitely has to be one of the coolest presidents to ever sit in the White House. And what is Obama going to do after the presidency? Well, he actually has an answer to that:

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
