Throughout the past eight years, the photographer for President Obama, Pete Souza, has shot almost two million photos of Obama. He captured his life from many different angles, showing sides of him that we never would have known he had without these pictures. He showed that Barack Obama was not only our president but a human being with a huge heart. Behind all of the politics and leading our country was a man who loved to kick back his feet and have a little fun. As we wrap up his presidency and get ready to say goodbye, we say goodbye to the man who loved animals, children, family and of course, his country. The photos that Souza released showed us an entirely different side of the man who we knew as our President.


1. His love for animals, especially his dogs Bo and Sunny.


2. His ability to make a child's day.


3. The unconditional love he has for his wife.


4. His good sportsmanship.


5. The carefree way he wasn't afraid to act goofy.


6. His love of fast food. (Sorry Michelle)


7. His ability to not only be President, but also a wonderful father and husband.


8. The way he cared about and supported his fellow politicians.


9. The way he always made time to see people who were fans or supported him.


10. How he kicks back and makes time to do "normal" things like watch the Super Bowl.


11. His casual attire around others sometimes that helps them feel less intimidated.


12. His natural ability to play a joke/take a joke.


13. All of the faces he makes that are entirely relatable.


14. Who could forget his friendship with Biden?


15. And of course, the way he led our country.


Thanks, Obama. You'll be greatly missed.

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.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
