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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
