The Fabulous Michelle Obama

A woman that is the epitome of grace and poise.

The Fabulous Michelle Obama

Our First Lady, Michelle Obama, is an inspiration to girls around the world. She is an intelligent woman that keeps her opponents on their toes. She refuses to allow the haters to impact her view on life, and she ensures that she teaches that lesson to girls everywhere. She teaches us to value ourselves and our educations.

She spends her days in the limelight as though no one is watching. Both her and the president have involved themselves into our popular cultures in the way that no other president has. She has made initiatives that have led to the involvement of younger generations in politics. So many of us had no care about what was happening in the world around us, until the Obama's were in the White House.

Whether she was on Disney, iCarly, or The Late Late Show, Michelle Obama sparkled. She would make us realize that our politicians are not that different from us; they are not on the pedestal that we put them on. They have fun, wear sandals, and jam in the car.

She gets behind a podium and amazes everyone with her words. There is never a moment of insecurity. She does not take a passive stance in our world, she makes sure that we are all aware that she has an opinion and she is not afraid to speak her mind.

She is class and grace epitomized. With every speech, dinner, and Easter Egg Roll she attended, Michelle Obama's presence was impossible to miss. She wore outfits with deeper meanings to them and she stood there with poise. Whether she was wearing a dress made out of chainmail by Versace, or she was wearing a dress by a designer, Christian Siriano, that touts body positivity, our First Lady stunned those around her.

When she speaks, she never loses her composure. While people hurl insults at her and her family, Michelle does not stoop to their level, rather she comes back at them with eloquent and intelligent responses. Her armor may have been hit a few times, and she may have felt a few blows, but Michelle Obama stood her ground and never let these people get the best of her.

My entire life, I have been waiting for the moment that I could say that the President of the United States was a woman. While our current polls show us that this woman president would be Hillary Clinton, I hope that one day Michelle Obama will not be the First Lady or former First Lady, but the President of the United States. There is one woman in our current political climate that I could fully support with little doubt and that is Michelle. I hope that she will one day be our president, because if she was the country would be very well off.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

Whether you believe astrology is a legitimate "science" or not, we have all found ourselves looking at our horoscopes from time to time. The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.

If you haven't read the first part of this, I would highly suggest to, specifically because the Public Service Announcement placed in the beginning of that article still applies. If you don't feel like reading part one, I will try to cover it quickly. Basically, long story short, I am a pretty boring person and lead a pretty ordinary life. Due to this, please do not expect for the things I consider ridiculous to be what others may deem it. I promise that each of these I have done with a complete sane, mildly bored, brain. With all of this being said, please enjoy the semi-absurd things I have been lead to do in the second semester of my freshman year at college.

College is supposed to be one of the best times of your life. However, it is also one of the toughest transitions to make. There is so much anticipation and excitement leading up to moving into college. It doesn’t truly hit you until move in day when your parents say their final goodbyes and you see their car drive away. You truly are on your own. I was blessed to meet my best friends within the first week of school. Your college friends are so important and here’s why:
