  • Now college-aged, former President Barack Obama's oldest daughter Malia is branching

  • out and making headlines of her own.

  • From life in the White House, to accolades from celebrities, and a budding love of fashion,

  • here's what you don't know about Malia Obama.

  • Not a spoiled First Daughter

  • Just because she was one of the first daughters, doesn't mean Malia was spoiled.

  • While she and her sister Sasha got a small allowance, it came with responsibilities.

  • Barack told People,

  • "Originally, we were giving her a dollar a week as long as she did all her chores."

  • But if you thought the girls got special treatment once they moved into the White House, you'd

  • be wrong.

  • According to The New York Times, the Obama girls still had to clean their rooms.

  • Michelle's mother revealed her White House experience, telling CBS,

  • "I talked them into allowing me to do my own laundry."

  • "You were doing your own laundry?"

  • "Yes"

  • "And she taught the girls how to do their laundry."

  • Barack told Barbara Walters that, while his daughters are, of course, special to their

  • family,

  • "[…] they're not special, you know in terms of having to do their homework or having to

  • do chores."

  • Michelle added that her direction to White House staff was:

  • "Don't make their beds.

  • Make mine."

  • Kicking around with her favorite sport

  • Prior to moving into the White House, People reported that Malia was already busy with

  • soccer and tennis, as well as piano and dancing.

  • Barack told the magazine,

  • "Malia loves soccer, but she's still so tall and gangly compared to some of these little

  • kids who are zipping around her."

  • Malia and Sasha are also fans of pro soccer and wanted to meet Argentinian legend Lionel

  • Messi when they traveled to Argentina with their father.

  • Unfortunately, not even the U.S. president can interrupt an international sports schedule,

  • and the Obama girls missed their chance.

  • America's birthday girl

  • When your father's a politician and you happen to share a birthday with America, your special

  • day might not feel so special.

  • "Their whole lives were spent trying to have a normal life"

  • "with a security detail"

  • The Chicago Tribune reported Malia spent many of her July 4th birthdays in hotel rooms,

  • celebrating in between her father's appearances.

  • In 2007, she was following her dad around Iowa, and in 2008, the paper reported,

  • "She spent the evening in a Holiday Inn Express hotel room in Montana.

  • During a break in campaigning, the family partied in the hotel room, ordering in dinner

  • and a birthday cake […]."

  • But don't feel too bad for her.

  • According to People magazine in 2016, at Malia's 18th birthday bash, Kendrick Lamar and Janelle

  • Monae were there to celebrate.

  • Getting political

  • Instead of heading to college right after graduating high school in 2016, Malia took

  • a year off, but kept very busy.

  • She interned at the U.S. Embassy in Spain, according to Fox News, and also got involved

  • with events focused on the Dakota Access Pipeline protests.

  • In an interview with Seth Meyers, Shailene Woodley revealed that Malia attended a gathering

  • at the Sundance Film Festival, saying,

  • "She was at Sundance to hear what the chairman from Standing Rock had to say, and some of

  • the water protectors had to say."

  • Woodley added,

  • "It was neat to see her be invested personally and separately from her family in these causes"

  • A-list accolades

  • Given her parents, it's no surprise Malia got an internship in politics, but her real

  • interest isn't in Washington, it's in Hollywood.

  • During her gap year between high school and college, she also worked as an intern at The

  • Weinstein Company.

  • It wasn't her first gig in showbiz.

  • Back in 2014, she got to work as a production assistant on the set of Halle Berry's Extant.

  • Berry told Andy Cohen that Malia did everything a PA would be asked to do, adding,

  • "She was amazing.

  • She is such a smart and beautiful young womanlook at who her mother and her father are,

  • so duh"

  • Then in 2015, Malia once again proved she was up to the task when she worked on the

  • set of HBO's Girls.

  • Lena Dunham told Howard Stern,

  • "She is so smart.

  • […] She wanted to do all the jobs.

  • That was the cool thing."

  • An icon in the making

  • She may fly under the radar, but Malia's fashion sense hasn't gone unnoticed.

  • "The first time you see your daughter in heels is a little bit jarring"

  • Though her mother is the one who has been called a fashion icon, Malia seems to be following

  • in those stylish footsteps.

  • The New York Times noted in 2015,

  • "For all the style credit Malia is garnering, there's still a sense that she is closely

  • mirroring her trendsetting mother."

  • Since that time, Malia has come into her own, with an evolving style certainly befitting

  • a fashion icon in the making.

  • In 2017, InStyle noted her flawless looks, even as a college co-ed.

  • And both she and her sister Sasha have been praised for their trending fashion since leaving

  • the White House.
