"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.

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.

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.

"It was amazing to see Malia," actress and activist Shailene Woodley told DemocracyNow.comin January. "To witness a human being and a woman coming into her own outside of her family and outside of the attachments that this country has on her, but someone who's willing to participate in democracy because she chooses to, because she recognizes, regardless of her last name, that if she doesn't participate in democracy, there will be no world for her future children."

Starting in February, Obama headed to work withHarvey Weinstein, the movieproducer who co-founded Miramax. Paparazzi caught her in New York City going to the Weinstein Company's offices. TMZ reported that she was helping the executives with scripts.

Obama and her father attended The Pricealong with former senior adviser Valerie Jarrett in February, according to The New York Times. At intermission, the trio went backstage to meet the cast and crew.

On the heels of a secret trip to South America and a ski trip with friends in Aspen, Colorado, Obama was spotted in Indonesia with her mom, dad and sister last month. As the group walked around Bali, Obama carried a camera and wore a sarong paired with a graphic tee. She even went rafting with the family, complete with a bright yellow helmet.
