Top 7 Reasons Why We'll Miss Michelle Obama
Mashable

She's beauty and she's grace. She's the first African-American first lady and the first to have even one degree from an Ivy League institution, let alone two. We've got six more months of her charming First Ladyship and we miss her already.

Here is a list of the top seven Michelle Obama moments from the past seven and half years:

7. Her reaction to ole' George W's jovial rendition of "Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!"

Her face. The side eye. The inevitable chuckle. You are all of us, Michelle.

6. When she slayed in yellow at the State of the Union address


You know which dress I'm talking about. It sold out at Neiman Marcus before you could say "YAS, queen."

5. Courtside PDA with the hubby

We couldn't forget this iconic and adorable photo.

4. Evolution of Mom Dancing with Jimmy Fallon

When she busted a move on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" back in 2013 to promote her Let's Move campaign.

3. How about the sequel?

The "Shush and Tush," the "You Go, Girl" and the "I Can Still Do This Because My Arms Are In Shape" stole the show on this episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

2. Her 2008 speech at the Democratic National Convention

Which, apparently, was so good they were still talking about it at this year's Republican National Convention.

1. Her most recent appearance in Carpool Karaoke with James Corden—and you'll never guess who else?!

Because she is the coolest First Lady that ever was and ever will be.

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.
