As we all know, Barrack Obama's presidency is coming to an end very soon. We will have to say goodbye to the coolest, most down to earth president the United States has ever had as well as his beautiful wife, our First Lady, Michelle Obama.

It's sad to see this intelligent and fun couple go, but they are leaving us with tons of great lessons and memories. Michelle Obama has taught us an incredible amount about how to be good people and what defines a good person. She's influenced women all over the world to speak out and not be afraid. She's taught us that women are equal to men in all forms. Her attitude and personality have gotten her so far and Barrack Obama said it himself, he wouldn't be where he is if it were't for her. She's influenced our generation to be the best that we can be.

Here are some of the greatest words and lessons told by our amazing First Lady...

"We need to fix our souls. Our souls are broken in this nation. We have lost our way. And it begins with inspiration. It begins with leadership."

"Success is only meaningful and enjoyable if it feels like your own."

"One of the lessons that I grew up with was to always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody else says distract you from your goals."

"You may not always have a comfortable life and you will not always be able to solve all of the world's problems at once but don't ever underestimate the importance you can have because history has shown us that courage can be contagious and hope can take on a life of its own."

"If my future were determined just by my performance on a standardized test, I wouldn't be here. I guarantee you that."

"Every day, the people I meet inspire me... every day, they make me proud... every day they remind me how blessed we are to live in the greatest nation on earth."

"Choose people who lift you up."

"I am an example of what is possible when girls from the very beginning of their lives are loved and nurtured by people around them. I was surrounded by extraordinary women in my life who taught me about quiet strength and dignity."

I personally think Michelle Obama is one of the classiest and most well educated women in America and she definitely has great advice for girls all over the world. She also lifts up and encourages all people to be the best they can be and never let anyone bring us down.

Michelle Obama, we will miss you dearly, thank you for all that you have done as the First Lady, and everything you have taught us.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
