While it's hard to imagine Michelle Obama decorating a dorm or cramming for final exams, turns out she was once a regular Princeton University student studying sociology and African American studies. First Ladies, they're just like us!
Obama recently took a trip down memory lane via Instagram, sharing a snap of herself between classes. Clad in a jean jacket with school bag slung over her shoulder, she looks like modern day #OutfitInspo. But in the caption, she got candid.
"michelleobama: This is me at Princeton in the early 1980s. I know that being a first-generation college student can be scary, because it was scary for me. I was black and from a working-class neighborhood in Chicago, while Princeton’s student body was generally white and well-to-do. I’d never stood out in a crowd or a classroom because of the color of my skin before. But I found close friends and a mentor who gave me the confidence to be myself. Going to college is hard work, but every day I meet people whose lives have been profoundly changed by education, just as mine was. My advice to students is to be brave and stay with it. Congratulations to the Class of 2018!"

But graduating from Princeton in anything guaranteed her acceptance into Harvard Law
LOL, I was thinking it looks photoshopped.
Was her ass as huge back then? inquiring minds want to know. Other than that, let’s move on.
But I found close friends and a mentor...
It would appear that not everyone was a racist bigot...
I don’t believe anything these frauds put out.
Her shoulder on the right side of photo looks too sharp.
Definitely looks photoshopped.
I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing. Looks photo shopped just like the BC.
Or they found a photo of someone at an unnamed place that looks like a university who bears a resemblance to her, and boom its her.... Here’s the proof...
Who needs a reason to throw down the race card?
Well, to be fair, in the 1980s, there weren’t many transgender students at Princeton...
You better watch it, sucka!
Wow! More documentation about her than her “better half” (is there really such a thing in that relationship?)....
Also, I have never seen a picture of her with cornrows. All the pics I see grade school through college it is just the frizzy natural hair.
