15 Reasons Why Obama is the Coolest
Tim Slagle

There is no doubt that our boy Obama is the coolest of the cool. And he just happens to be president, too. Here's a list that proves how he made being president cool again.

1. That swagger.

The constant reminder that he's got everything under control.

2. That humor.

"Between Two Ferns", "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee","The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon", "Saturday Night Live"; the list goes on and on! The ability to have a self-deprecating sense of humor—even when you're the president—is a talent in and of itself.

3. Our boy's got game.

Look at that height! I bet it didn't even touch the rim.

4. He likes to live dangerously.

"A three and half foot drop? I got this." Look at that form too. I bet he landed graciously. Just as he always does.

5. Children love him.

For obvious reasons, of course.

6. He knows how to greet people.

The only way you should greet Bruce. Nailed it, as always.

7. Always looking cool

He even masters talking on the phone. He's probably talking to Trudeau, planning how they can overload the world with their coolness combined.

8. He brushes off the haters.

Presidents have to know how to get that dirt off their shoulders. Can't let it build up until you are buried under the blame you are putting on everyone else. Thank you for showing us what it is to be self-confident and to believe in yourself first and foremost.

9. This is his 2016 Christmas Card.

Thanks to none other than Justin Trudeau for encouraging this shot to be taken. You deserve our never ending gratitude for this precious moment.

10. His bromance with Biden.

Their love, their friendship, their teamwork. The dynamic between the two is something that we are so lucky to have had. Thanks for an incredible eight years.

11. Once again, that swagger.

Gotta check out my competition, then it is Shades on Blades On.

12. SO MUCH SWAGGER.

"Is it cool in here? Oh wait, it's just me."

13. He's always got our backs.

We always knew Obama was here at the end of the day to make us feel better even when times were rough.

14. That smile.

Reminding us that being the president can also be fun, sometimes.

15. All of the mic drops.

And well-deserved mic drops at that. You can mic drop your presidency on the last day sir. Job well done. Thank you for everything.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
