First Lady Michelle Obama appeared in a sketch for College Humor with SNL’s Jay Pharoah Thursday in an attempt to encourage teens to “make room” for college. The First Lady is no stranger to public service; in the past she has worked towards encouraging Americans to eat healthier and exercise more.

The lighthearted video has started a popular hashtag on twitter #FLOTUSBARS which feature users posting First-Lady-inspired verses.

It is very convenient timing that this message comes about on the same day that Justice Scalia has argued that black students cannot handle the rigors of top colleges. Coincidence?

Watch.
