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.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
