Even though technically he'll remain in office until January, President Obama's final term is coming to an end far too quickly. Seeing as our next president will be announced this coming Tuesday, I thought that I would compile a list of Obama's best moments/why he's my favorite person ever.

1. When he read mean tweets.

There's no shortage of sarcasm and funny faces from our leader.

2. He knows that representation matters.

This adorable little boy wanted to know if Obama's hair felt like his own, so naturally, Obama didn't hesitate to let the boy touch his hair. *Cue me crying*

3. He has no problem making fun of himself sometimes.

He knows not to take everything too seriously and that's incredibly refreshing.

4. When he made a friendship bracelet for Joe Biden.

What other president has had such a lovable bromance with their Vice President?

5. He never has a shortage of dad jokes.

He's so proud of his joke and his daughters' reactions make it 10 times better.

6. When he and Michelle read Where the Wild Things Are.

They brought this classic story to life for the kids and they weren't afraid to look silly. #CoupleGoals.

7. When Ellen took Michelle shopping at CVS.

Technically, this isn't one of the President's best moments, but we all know that Michelle is just as important and iconic as Barack.

8. When he slow jammed the news with Jimmy Fallon.

This is quite possibly my favorite clip of Obama. 11/10 would recommend.

9. He recognizes the little people.

This woman is 106 years old and she was so happy to meet Obama, the first black president. He and Michelle even danced with her.

10. He makes the BEST faces.

It's just really entertaining to watch his sarcastic facial expressions.

11. His comebacks are instant classics.

He said this during his State of the Union Address after some Republicans cheered when he made the remark that he didn't have any more campaigns to run. Classic.

12. His iconic mic drop.

Last but not least, Obama concluded his speech at his last White House Correspondents' Dinner with this legendary mic drop.

Here's to the smoothest, funniest, and most genuine President to ever lead this nation. You will be greatly missed.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
