Getting out of school when you're a kid (or at any age, really) is pretty much the best feeling of all time. It's like a get out of jail free card, but only if you have the coveted note.

One student in New Hampshire had the note to end all notes. Ollie, 9, who attends Greenland Central School, went to Hillary Clinton's launch party in Concord, New Hampshire, with his mother and grandfather, where he brought a note with him to prove to his third grade teacher that he was actually at Clinton's event. Lucky for him, the democratic candidate was more than happy to sign!

Her campaign squad tweeted the note Tuesday, and along with her signature the also includes an asterisk that says, "really!," just in case the teacher might be suspicious. "If you have to miss school, make sure you have a note," read the tweet.

Because Bill Clinton's wife did him a solid, Ollie plans on returning the favor later this summer when he canvasses for her with his grandfather, according to Boston.com.

Clinton has been connecting with her supporters through various forms of social media in addition to Twitter. She recently joined Instagram and even released an official 2016 campaign playlist on Spotify that includes some pop anthems to get you motivated.

Even though she just joined the picture-sharing platform, the 2016 candidate really knows what she's doing. She shared an epic #ThrowbackThursday photo and even put together a #FlashbackFriday video! For an Instagram newbie, we have to give her props (we assume she's having some help...). In addition to hopping on hashtag trends, she also used Instagram to highlight some issues she has campaigned for in the past, including gay rights and women's rights.

She also shared a "Living history" video highlighting her personal life and many of her political accomplishments.
