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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
