Frank Underwood: The Politician We Deserve

“The best thing about human beings is that they stack so neatly.” -F.U.

Frank Underwood: The Politician We Deserve

Francis J. Underwood: anti-hero, ruthless, manipulative, relentless, calculating politician.

F.U. The initials are fitting for a man hungry for power and control, a man so ruthless and cold that he is willing to lie and even murder anyone who dares get in his way. F.U. is layers of false promises and placating smiles. The initials embody all that is Frank Underwood: F.U.

The fourth season of House of Cards is set to release on Netflix on March 4th. Over the past few years, we have ravenously watched Frank and his equally conniving wife Claire rise to the top, a swath of carnage in their wake. Jagged threats, timely deaths and biting words encapsulate the Underwoods’ journey through Congress and up to the presidency. Frank is never one to shy away from a verbal smackdown. So, add a little Frank your life.

1. When your professor tells you “attendance is mandatory”

2. When your professor says the textbook is recommended, but not required

3. When your TA tries to boss you around

4. When your class votes to not push the test back

5. When your professor randomly assigns the members of your group project

6. When you want to sound like an overachiever (best used when ordering a Trenta Americano at Starbucks).

7. When you meet your best friend’s “other best friend”

8. When someone tries to cut the Chik-fil-A line

9. When you see high school students on your campus

10. When you blow off studying to binge-watch Netflix

Until March 4th!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
