She’s grown so much, we can hardly believe it!
While many of us were busy gazing at the solar eclipse, former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle were moving their eldest daughter, Malia, into her new dorm at Harvard University. Watching Malia transition into this new chapter evokes a collective nostalgia, and we’re feeling all the emotions right alongside her proud parents.
It feels like just yesterday when Malia, as a young girl, shared the spotlight with her dad during his presidential victory speech. Now, at 19, after taking a gap year, she’s embarking on her college journey at Harvard, surrounded by classmates who are equally excited to share the campus with a former first daughter. And can you blame them?
With a bit of a fan frenzy, there’s a student capturing a video of our beloved first family on campus. There’s Barack in his signature Dad Jeans, alongside his lovely wife and daughter, helping Malia settle in. Oh, how we miss those times!
The Obamas have been notably protective of their daughters since 2008, and we can only imagine how bittersweet it is for them to leave Malia at school, just like any other parent would feel. Thankfully, she’s on familiar territory since both of her parents are Harvard alumni.
However, the attention on Malia might feel overwhelming. It’s understandable that students are starstruck; if the Obamas appeared in our daily lives, we’d definitely be a bit starry-eyed too!
Nonetheless, the Obama family is just like any other—navigating the bittersweet experience of dropping their child off at college. Malia is a first-time freshman, and we hope her peers will soon give her the space she needs to adjust to this new independent life.
And to Barack and Michelle? Here’s a box of tissues for you!
