11 Reasons Why Claire Underwood is the Best Character on 'House of Cards'
House of Cards

It's time to binge watch! The new season of "House of Cards" came out on Netflix and I'm sure it's going to be amazing. After all it somehow manages to mess with all of your emotions with major plot twists, and has this magical way of gluing you to your screen, and . One of my favorite characters is Claire Underwood, the incredibly fierce wife of France Underwood. I know how I'm spending my spring break binge watching it, and so should you, even if it's only for Claire.

*Warning! Spoilers Ahead!

1. She is a strong, independent woman.

She is not afraid to do her own thing. She creates her own light, not hiding in the shadow of her husband.

2. She is ambitious.

She works hard throughout all of her jobs in the show. Whether it was working for the Clean Water Initiative, being First Lady or Ambassador to the United Nations, she crushes it.

3. She is loyal to her husband.

Though they don't have the best relationship, at the end of the day, Claire is always at Francis' side, even when he doesn't deserve it.

4. Not only is she loyal to Francis, she is constantly keeping up his public image.

Francis would not be the President of the United States if it were not for Claire. She worked at the Clean Water Initiative to boost the image of Francis, along with many other political moves to get him where he is.

5. She is quite the classy first lady.

Let's face it she is fabulous. I ship Francis and Claire. Claire completes Francis; she makes him look good, and is able to stand alone all by herself.

6. She is a stellar ambassador to the United Nations.

She is not afraid to throw down in the political arena. She gets aggressive, forceful, and will get things done.

7. She is brilliant.

She has masters degree from Harvard University...pretty impressive. She is constantly thinking ahead, planning her next move, to gain success for herself as well as Francis.

8. She's not afraid to speak out when she knows something is not right.

Just look at the whole Petrov situation.

9. She doesn't take any crap from anyone.

She will call anyone out for being ridiculous, including her own husband.

10. Her style is killer!

Even in her pajamas, she looks awesome!

11. She is the best character on "House of Cards."

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
