Seeing Obama's farewell speech a couple of days ago really broke some hearts. A lot of us don't want to see this cool guy leave office. I certainly don't want to see this President and VP leave; do you? If you're not sure, here are some things to prove that the Obama and Biden families are pretty chill, yet caring and fun people.

Obama and Biden are best buds

OK so this isn't really a rare thing with people, but the friendship and also the brotherhood between Obama and Biden is great. They're serious when it comes to political matters, but they ensure to live their own lives as well. They don't want to appear solely as the President and Vice President - they want to appear as common people; people just like all of us that aren't in office.

Obama and Michelle are perfect

Not just cute couple wise; the way they act together in public is really chill - notice how they're pretty realistic in front of people. They like to laugh and be themselves. It doesn't feel like they're putting on a show even though sometimes they probably have to if they're having some bad days...you know like regular people do.

Joe Biden's speeches are kickass

You can't go wrong with one of his speeches. Whenever Joe talks, he just moves the crowd. His tone shifts, his volume fluctuates, his expressions are great - all so perfectly natural, yet so powerful. Also as a side note, he's hilarious.

There were NO scandals!

Affairs, a "love child" from that affair, any other secrets...did you see any of these emerge into the spotlight of the Obama family and/or the Biden family? The thing that they should be respected for is maintaining their privacy.

Obama, himself, is funny too

If you listen to his speeches, you'll hear him try to make some good jokes...which, I don't know, in my book is pretty funny. Hearing and seeing someone try to be funny...is funny. With his calm stature, Obama delivers his speeches with ease, as well as with some laughs (of course depending on what the subject is).

If you don't like the Obamas and Bidens, you better have a pretty good reason (aside from politics). It's true that many people feel like they did not receive any real help from the Obama administration for the past 8 years, but I'm not here to point that out. All I'm saying is that, for the difficult positions they have had to face in the public eye, the Obamas and Bidens are pretty cool.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
