No One Better In The White House

2 years later and still undeniably best president and first lady

No One Better In The White House
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama

To this day, I still think that Barack Obama and Michelle Obama were the best husband-wife duo to every walk to the white house. If you haven't seen the adorable video of Barack surprising Michelle at her book release, I've linked it for you to enjoy. It has been more than 2 years since they have left and their impact continues to grow bigger everyday. Each of them has impacted all the students, work force, etc all across this nation. And Barack and Michelle have not stopped there. They have continued to help others as a way to showing that they are normal people who can still make a difference.

Former President Obama continues to advocate his polices that made him so popular and unpopular as a president from 2009 to the day he left office in 2017. Obama has continued to try to convince Congress of the growing impact of climate change while also helping Americans use Alternative energy sources to help the United States grow into a country in which we become the world leaders in helping save the environment. However, he has gone head to head with current president Donald Trump over issues such as the recent economic growth and the immigration system that has been overly controlled by the Trump administration. The recent nefarious behavior of ICE or US Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been making good on Trumps promise of trying to deport every non-white or non-black individual in the United States. Data shows that while the number of Border Deportations have stayed the same from the Obama to Trump administration, inside the country deportations have gone up with Trump in Power. As for the environment, Republican's were never big on helping save the climate so the Trump Administration has basically repealed all that the Obama Administration did to help the environment.

As for Michelle Obama, she will be very missed. While a lot of students dislike her due to her policies about healthy school eating and etc, she was instrumental in making the US a healthier place. And while she has been on break from being with her family, she wrote a book called "Becoming Michelle Obama" which has gone on to sell more copies than Donald Trump's book did in 32 years. At the end of the day, she is a far more interactive first lady than Melania Trump who has been silent behind her husband's brash mouth. This has become a defined movement for her and she has continually been quiet when her support was needed the most. Every first lady has gone on to attempt to fix an issue in the US but Melania has been quiet and has not chosen one when her voice is needed the most.

At the end of the day, the choice is clear about who had a bigger impact on the white house and the overall state of the US. Barack and Michelle still continue to inspire me to this day about how much they care for other people and how much they continue to help others. Thank you.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
