Michelle Obama Was The Role Model We All Needed

Wordpress

Michelle Obama will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the best first ladies to grace the United States. She came into the White House in 2008 and nobody knew that she would have such an impact on the country. Michelle had all the best qualities of a leader, a role model, and a friend. She could balance being authoritative but also kind. Amid any political turmoil, Michelle stayed calm, cool, and collected as the country looked up to her. I am beyond grateful to have witnessed her FLOTUS reign.

In today’s society, it’s not always easy for a little girl to find a role model. When front-page news is celebrity drug scandals, it’s a bit harder to find some positive news. Michelle always brought the best. I don’t think I have ever seen anything bad about this woman in the media. She was and always will be an amazing role model. She constantly shows empowerment through her push for higher education and a healthier lifestyle. Her poise and advice will live on for years to come.

Michelle Obama knew how to have fun. She could dance on Jimmy Fallon one day and be on iCarly the next. She knew how to give advice. She could push the Gimme Five movement and the Reach Higher Initiative. She knew how to dress. She knew how to be a mom. She really could do everything. In her final address to the public Michelle said, “I hope I’ve made you proud.” All I have to say is thank you Michelle Obama, you have made us so proud.

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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

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.
