Let Malia Obama Be Her Age!

Let Malia Obama Be Her Age!

So as the Democratic National Convention was going on there was someone missing. No, it wasn't someone on television who believes republicans are devil majority of them who think like that were front row at the convention. But I digress. The person who was missing in action was none only than Malia Obama. The daughter of President of the United States and first lady Michelle Obama...I know what you are thinking:

1. Why is she not with her father and mother during a time like this?

2. Why Lollapalooza?

3. How old is she again?

Now, as Michelle and Barack were giving their epic speeches Malia was dancing around with her friends at Lollapalooza within her hometown of Chicago! First things first, she is 18, everyone, and just graduated from high school. Yes, I understand she lives in the White House with one of the most famous couples in the world. That does not mean she cannot go out and have fun! She still wants to live her teenage years, but the whole time while she was dancing around, secret service was right there, casually dressed in their plaid. So, at all times she was protected. So, that would be considered safe fun. I mean, let's be real here, the family has not had one scandal....let that sink in. Why is that? Because, the family actually lives their lives outside of the political stuff. I know some of you see it as an issue for Barack to be playing basketball or Michelle riding around in a car singing karaoke with Missy Elliot but what else are they supposed to do? They also want their down time just like normal people, which they are. Their status in life does not make them. It just adds to their daily regimen. Plus, the girl is going to Harvard and we all know how stuck up Harvard is. Let Malia be her age. Let her be young. Get over it. She was not sheltered like some of the other presidents daughters. I knew she was different when back in 2014 she went to the Chance the Rapper concert along with her dressing skills. (Which I approve of). At the end of the day Malia is going to be her age and live like it.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
