The underrated deserve some recognition too.

12 Reasons Susan is Actually the Best Pevensie
Narniaweb

In the famed and beloved "The Chronicles of Narnia" series, most of the Pevensie kids get a lot of attention. Lucy for being the bravest and most courageous despite her age and being a girl, Edmund for his initial betrayal and eventual character development, and of course, Peter for being the oldest, the head of the Pevensie gang, and the leader of Aslan's army. But one Pevensie is often forgotten: Susan. Here's some reasons why Susan is the most underrated, but perhaps greatest Pevensie.

1. She loves books and word games

In the first movie, the gang has just escaped the war and arrived at the professor's house. Susan is shown playing some sort of word game that everyone else finds boring. As a lover of books and words, this is one of the first things that made me realize how great Susan is.

2. She is driven by logic

She thinks with rationale. When Lucy is talking about Narnia, Susan insists against its existence.

3. She takes on the role of a mother

When the 4 are forced to leave their mother, Peter takes the leadership role, but so does Susan. She always gives her siblings helpful reminders, scolds them if needed, and takes control when the situation demands.

4. She's rational

Sometimes it seems she's the only one doing any thinking.

5. She always tries to do what is right

Her logic leads her to morality.

6. She is always "trying to be smart" according to Peter

Peter may have meant this negatively, but what's wrong with having brains?

7. She's always there to administer a dose of reality

8. She carries the burdens of of others

When Peter tried to say it was his fault that Edmund went astray, Susan insisted it was because of all of them, not just Peter.

9. She can be cynical, boring, and too realistic, but she recognizes her faults

She apologizes to Lucy for the way she is and always tries to improve herself.

10. She's such a good sister to Lucy

Lucy is still so young when they're in Narnia, and Susan makes sure she's taken care of. Perhaps it's because of Susan Lucy can be so brave.

11. She's as good with a bow as Katniss

Just watch the battle scene in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.

12. She is Queen Susan, The Gentle

Magnificent, just, and valiant are all honorable things to be, but it takes a lot, and a special person to simply be gentle.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
