Barack Obama: A President Who Knows The Art Of Tweeting

I know I am not the only one who doesn't trust Donald Trump with the @POTUS account.

Barack Obama: A President Who Knows The Art Of Tweeting

Twitter is an important form of social media these days, in only 140 short words you are free to express your thoughts and opinions on any subject. For some, that means discussing relevant, serious topics such as climate change or Spotify playlists. For others, that means making blanket statements and accusations against entire countries and overusing the "CAPS ALL" key and exclamation points.

If you are at all familiar with twitter, you have probably scrolled past the @POTUS account a few times.

Since the creation of the account on May 18, 2015, we have seen President Obama discuss the most important of subjects. He stands in what he believes in, states it professionally and it warms our heart. I could not imagine this account being controlled by @therealdonaldtrump.

It breaks my heart.

However, while President Obama discusses ways to improve our country and offers moral support, Donald Trump is still talking about his victory (several months after the election) and all of his tweets consist of negatively talking about other countries, his enemies, all the "problems" with America, denying his involvement with Russia and attacking a specific group of people.

Besides that, he never seems to offer any real advice to fix these so called problems. Personally, whenever I read his tweets, I read it as a 6 year old little child who is tattling on someone or the other.

In short, I am not prepared for January 20th. I am not ready to say good bye to a President who not only cares about ALL civilians living in America, but cares for every human being (no matter where they come from) and the Earth. I am not ready to say bye to the first family or their little puppy dog, Sunny.

Thank you, President Obama, for serving this already great country with an amazing 8 years. Here is to one more week of being our president and to one more week of having a president who can tweet.

These are only 26 of the many tweets that President Obama has inspired us with, encouraged positivity and showcased the improvements our country has made: all in under 140 words.

1. President Obama believes in using our money the right way.

2. He looks at the scientific facts and then believes what he sees.


3.@POTUS knows good music.

4. Remember this? The kid who made a clock for school (using science and knowledge) and then the school thought that it resembled a bomb, all because of racial stereotypes?

5. A president who knows that instead of building a wall, we should welcome people into the country.

6. Violence is bad. Thank you, President Obama, for recognizing that guns are the biggest threat.


7. Again, @POTUS BELIEVES IN CLIMATE CHANGE. And thinks about the future generations; not just his own. Sure, climate change probably won't effect him too much; but what about the future kids?


8. President Obama: all I can say is thank you. I hope this isn't canceled next year.

9. @POTUS is a proud feminist.

10. President Obama actually did something to combat climate change and save the Earth before it is too late.

11. Optimism is ONE of President Obama's highest qualities. Because of him, he makes everyone feel as if they have a voice and as if they are making a difference. He gives us hope.

12. Ugh, that would be a dream. #HilaryforPOTUS!! Am I right??

13. Look at this! Job growth has increased, without building a wall.

14. President Obama stands proud with #teamUSA. Not only because they crushed it at the olympics this year, but because the diversity that was shown.

15. EQUALITY.

16. Because @POTUS knows that not everyone is an upperclass, rich man.

17. Thank you Obama; thank you for knowing and advocating against sexual assault.

18. @POTUS stands with planned parenthood.


19. President Obama stands with the Cubs, even though he is a White Sox fan. Just an average guy showcasing his love for baseball and sports.

20. Cutest President/VP friendship/brotherhood ever witnessed. May the memes never end, and may all of Joe's pranks work perfectly.

21. I would have to say, the happiness that Obama and Michelle showcase is contagious. They seem to be nothing but welcoming and loving; we need a @POTUS who knows how to smile and how to make everyone else smile too.

22. Such a beautiful quote from President Obama.

23. Because America is not ours to take. We need to preserve the nations most sacred areas and respect those who lived on it before we did. Thank you for recognizing that.

24. One of the biggest parts of history: the legalization of gay marriage EVERYWHERE. And notice how @POTUS said "realizing"; as in, it should have been there to begin with. It is not a privilege, it is a right. Thank you for making sure everyone is treated equal.

25. President Obama knows the right way to say "Happy New Year". Who else recalls Donald Trump saying "happy new year" to his enemies? Well, if you are one of the "many enemies" of Donald Trump, just know that @POTUS wishes you a happy new year. He wishes a happy new year to everybody.

26. Everything about President Obama's farewell speech was beautiful. Even though it is going to be a rough 4 years, @POTUS gives us hope that we can make a difference.

President Obama: you will always be in our hearts as the queen of tweets and a master at being an amazing president. The past 8 years have been great and I know you will continue to make a difference and help us out, even as a citizen.

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.

Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
