Malia Obama, former first daughter, turns 19 [View all]
Malia Obama doesn't just observe the nation's birthday every Fourth of July—she also celebrates her own.
Born on July 4, 1998, Obama turns 19 on Tuesday. And what a year it's been, with a turbulent campaign season, the victory of Republican Donald Trump and the end of her father's presidential term. Ever since her dad, Barack Obama, left office this January, Malia Obama has nearly vanished from the spotlight.
Eating Pizza
Obama, along with her sister, mom and friends, had a slumber party for their last night in the White House.
"They had a sleepover because of course on Inauguration Day, because my girls are so normal, they're like, 'Well, eight girls are gonna be sleeping here because it's our last time, and we want pizza and we want nuggets.' And it's like, really?" former first lady Michelle Obama said in April.
Delaying College
Malia Obama is scheduled to attend Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, this fall. She announced last May that she was taking a gap year before starting college.
Protesting
Obama went to the Sundance Film Festival in Utah to take part in a demonstration against the Dakota Access Pipeline, the $3.7 billion pipeline causing controversy for allegedly disrupting Native American land.
