No One Better In The White House

2 years later and still undeniably best president and first lady

No One Better In The White House
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama

To this day, I still think that Barack Obama and Michelle Obama were the best husband-wife duo to every walk to the white house. If you haven't seen the adorable video of Barack surprising Michelle at her book release, I've linked it for you to enjoy. It has been more than 2 years since they have left and their impact continues to grow bigger everyday. Each of them has impacted all the students, work force, etc all across this nation. And Barack and Michelle have not stopped there. They have continued to help others as a way to showing that they are normal people who can still make a difference.

Former President Obama continues to advocate his polices that made him so popular and unpopular as a president from 2009 to the day he left office in 2017. Obama has continued to try to convince Congress of the growing impact of climate change while also helping Americans use Alternative energy sources to help the United States grow into a country in which we become the world leaders in helping save the environment. However, he has gone head to head with current president Donald Trump over issues such as the recent economic growth and the immigration system that has been overly controlled by the Trump administration. The recent nefarious behavior of ICE or US Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been making good on Trumps promise of trying to deport every non-white or non-black individual in the United States. Data shows that while the number of Border Deportations have stayed the same from the Obama to Trump administration, inside the country deportations have gone up with Trump in Power. As for the environment, Republican's were never big on helping save the climate so the Trump Administration has basically repealed all that the Obama Administration did to help the environment.

As for Michelle Obama, she will be very missed. While a lot of students dislike her due to her policies about healthy school eating and etc, she was instrumental in making the US a healthier place. And while she has been on break from being with her family, she wrote a book called "Becoming Michelle Obama" which has gone on to sell more copies than Donald Trump's book did in 32 years. At the end of the day, she is a far more interactive first lady than Melania Trump who has been silent behind her husband's brash mouth. This has become a defined movement for her and she has continually been quiet when her support was needed the most. Every first lady has gone on to attempt to fix an issue in the US but Melania has been quiet and has not chosen one when her voice is needed the most.

At the end of the day, the choice is clear about who had a bigger impact on the white house and the overall state of the US. Barack and Michelle still continue to inspire me to this day about how much they care for other people and how much they continue to help others. Thank you.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
