Farewell To Barack Obama

"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."-Barack Obama

Farewell To Barack Obama

The date is November 8th, 2016. The United States of America is pressed with the decision of basically choosing the top or bottom socket of an outlet to stick a fork into. Yes, I am comparing self-electrocution to voting for the new President of The United States. We are given the choices of Mr. Donald Trump, billionaire who has been known to degrade those he disagrees with, as well as the man who just never learned the "talking stick" method of having a conversation. Or on the other side, we have Senator Hillary Clinton, who ran for the Democratic Nominee position in 2008, and has been in the news for her e-mails regarding Benghazi. I refuse to get into the specific details regarding these two candidates. I wouldn't even necessarily call them candidates, anyway. I view these two as America just playing a game of "Pin The Tail on The Donkey", and just seeing where the tail ends up. This article is not to take down any supporters of any side of this free-for-all battle royale. This article is to look at our most recent President, and give him the fondest of farewells. Mainly, because this country may not last another four years. All kidding aside, Barack Obama has been The Prez of Da U.S.A. for 8 years straight. Within these 8 years of him dealing with us whining Americans, he has not only accomplished some major progress with this country, but has also shown us how much of a savage he can truly be.

Slow-Jamming The News

This is just a nice little snippet of when President Barack Obama slow-jammed the news with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, but the entire performance can be found in the title link above.

Obama Kills Fly During Interview

Barack Obama might have been the one and only President to kill an insect on live television. I don't know about you, but I think that's pretty insane.

Obama's Anger Translator

Mr. President's anger translator, Luther, made a special appearance at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner earlier this year just to tell us all what Obama was really thinking.

There are a large number of instances when President Obama shut down reporters due to interruptions, heckling, protests, and for many other reasons. President Barack Obama, thank you for your 8 years of generous and vigorous leadership, even without having the entire country on your side. Thank you for creating and generating such a significant amount of progress within this already great nation of ours. Thank you for all of the times when you walked up to that podium, and realized that America just might need some humor to feel better on a specific day. Thank you for the incredibly hospitable family you brought into The White House once you were elected President, and I thank your family for being one of the best White House Families America has had. To find a family with no dirt and/or scandals against them is a lot harder to come by than you think. The torch of President of The United States of America will be handed off from you come January, and now there's nothing more you can really do. So, enjoy your Hawaiian vacation with your family, and don't worry about us fellow Americans, we'll be alright without you and your BFF Joe Biden. I think...?

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
