Who could forget those mic drops?

Eight years later, sadly, it's time for President Obama to leave office. Aside from being the first African American President, Barack Obama has brought a lot of controversy and tough topics to the table undoubtedly making his presidency one people are either going to look back fondly on, or have a bitter taste in their mouth about. Accomplishments ranging from passing the health care reform, to passing wall street reform, to ending the war in Iraq and turning the US automobile industry around, President Obama has some pretty big accomplishments under his belt. But second to none, Obama is one of the funniest Presidents that has ever been in the Oval Office. So here is a look back on his funniest moments, and the reason we will miss him so:

1. His first tweet

Needless to say, twitter is something politicians love using and it can either be a good thing, or a very sticky situation (hey, Donald Trump!). Luckily, Obama lightened up the playing field when he got his twitter only about two years ago.

2. His infamous mic drop

I think he even had a few of these? Who else could peace out on the presidency with a mic drop? Only President Obama.

3. Obama's thank you note to Congress

Maybe it's because I actually cannot stand Donald Trump but, "How do you like me now?"

4. On Zach Galifianakis


I mean, I wanted a third "Hangover" movie, didn't you? I'd give my left arm to have Obama in office for a third term (if Hill wasn't running, of course).

5. The White House Correspondents Dinner.


I'm unsure of what was funnier after this event, the way the Republicans reacted, or Obama's completely straight face the entire time.

6. His State Of The Union Address in 2015.


Ugh, I just love it when Obama jabs at the Republicans and doesn't even bat an eye–and he knows he, "Won them both."

7. Obama reading "mean tweets"


"Can we fly Obama to a golf course half way around the world, and just, leave him there?"

And if none of those made you laugh, here are a few screenshots of pictures that will be sure to pull at your heart strings. Thank you for eight awesome years President Obama – and we can't wait to welcome Hillary into the spot.




Thanks, Mr. President.

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.
