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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
