Why We Love Michelle Obama

We're all going to miss our favorite FLOTUS

Why We Love Michelle Obama

There are several reasons why Michelle Obama is my favorite first lady ever. For once I did not particularly pay attention to the previous first ladies because they were simply not as cool, bright, kind and awesome as she is. For real, this woman can rap, dance and dress like no one else. She is like this cool aunt you always go to when you cannot get along with your mother. I hate politics, because it simply bores me (don't forget to vote Tuesday November 8!) and I honestly like to think that other people will worry about it so I just avoid getting involved, what a shame for a citizen right? I mean in my defense I have just recently moved back to the States so... But anyway, this is truly the first time that I actually pay a decent amount of attention to what is happening in the White House.

The reason why I like Michelle Obama is because it is easy to identify to her. She is a great model for young girls not only in America but all over the world. Being a woman in our modern society is not easy because the female gender is perpetually underestimated by the male gender. In addition, being a black woman in America is even more complicated and challenging. She is proving that it is possible for black women to be successful regardless of the stereotypes that are meant to destroy our confidence and self-esteem. Forget about the stereotype of the angry black woman who cannot do anything better than birth several children and depend on her husband to support her.

Michelle is the first African-American Firs Lady and let just say that she has put the bar pretty high for the next generation of First Lady to come, whether black, white or blue. She is a Princeton University and Harvard Law of School graduate. She is a powerful woman standing next to the most powerful man in the world. And I think this is a true lesson about relationship. As women we should aim to be successful while standing next to a successful man. That is something that I admire about Michelle, she is not powerful and successful because she is married to the President of the United States, she is powerful and successful because she is an ambitious woman who has worked hard her entire life. Indeed, that is something who should all remember, a woman does not need a man to accomplish great things in life, rather she needs a man to support her while she is being amazing!

She may be FLOTUS but she still knows how to enjoy life. Bottom line she is just amazing, have you seen her in that Versace dress at her last state dinner? Simply stunning! I am honestly just waiting for her to run for President in four years so we can all stop making those plans to move to Canada.

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
