President Barack Obama dropped in on a group of college journalists visiting the White House this afternoon, taking questions that ranged from “can I take a photo with you?” to substantive inquiries about his post-presidency plans, Syrian refugees, college affordability, and if the administration plans to take additional action on immigration.

Obama’s first questioner, a reporter from Rutgers, gave some history of the school newspaper before noting his nervousness (Obama’s advice: “pretend like this is routine.”) Given that the president plans to speak at their commencement, he asked, “would you be interested in being interviewed by our newspaper?” (Obama: “I’m favorably disposed”).

Another student asked about the president’s most proud accomplishment, and what he plans to do after he leaves office. “Probably the thing that I’m most proud of is that, mainly as the assistant to Michelle Obama, I’ve raised two daughters who are amazing and I’m really, really proud of them and being able to do that while still focused on my job is something that I think I’ll look back on and appreciate.” As for his agenda after January, Obama said he plans to work on programming to encourage students to get involved in civic life.

After one student greeted Obama with “hey,” Obama playfully gave her a “heyyy” back before addressing her question about the administration’s plans for immigration reform. You can watch the whole thing here. Or, you know, just this highlight:
