#FLOTUSCarpool Karoake Has Us Missing First Lady Michelle Obama Already
We hope November never comes.
An election year is obviously a time for change. However, while we've been preparing for a change in President for quite some time now, it's hitting us just now how much we're going to miss First Lady Michelle Obama.
Over the past seven+ years, the First Lady has been a source of inspiration for many around the country, wowing us all with her brilliance and grace under pressure. And thanks to her down-to-earth attitude, Michelle Obama feels like a friend we've gotten to know pretty well.
Mrs. Obama has opened herself up to the public in a way no FLOTUS has before. She is active on social media, (even getting on Snapchat recently) she's danced and done pushups with Ellen, and she's given speeches at schools and colleges all over the country. Hell, she even guest-starred on one of the most beloved series of our time, Parks and Recreation.

But on Wednesday night, the First Lady may have outdone herself when she went carpooling with Late, Late Show host James Corden.
In the 14-minute video, James and the First Lady drive around the White House grounds, listening to Beyonce and Stevie Wonder. They talk Secret Service code names and what Michelle plans to "accidentally" take with her when she vacates the White House in January.
There's even a cameo by Missy Elliot, who worked with Michelle Obama to create a song sponsoring the First Lady's fantastic "Let Girls Learn" initiative, which seeks to help young girls all over the world get the proper education they're entitled to.
For us, the whole thing just helped us realize how much we'll miss having Michelle as our FLOTUS. Because, try as they might, seeing Melania Trump or Bill Clinton tell us to "get our freak on" wouldn't have nearly the same effect.
