Forget Clinton, Vote Underwood For President

Why Claire Underwood would make the best President.

They always say if you want a job done right, get a woman to do it first.

Besides all of the presidential nominees, I think there is one nominee that was perhaps too posh, too busy and, frankly, too qualified to run for office during the 2016 Election.

Ladies and Gentleman, I present:

Claire Underwood

Her slicked back hair, powerful words, sleek legs topped with sky-high heels and powerful husband make her an immediate possibility for our presidency.

Why should you vote Underwood?

1. Survived an Abusive Relationship

Everyone knows that Frank is a crooked, evil man with only intending to make a name for himself. However, in season three, Frank abuses Claire to her absolute breaking point with his foul words of ridicule and manipulation. However, instead of simply crying in the corner wondering how she could ever leave, Claire tightens her bra strap and walks right out on the president of the United States. As he calls her name with his powerful, mighty and thunderous voice vibrating through the room, Claire continues to walk with ease and poise through the camera frame and into a new life.

2. Constant Motivation

After becoming Ambassador for the United States, running a successful non-profit and leaving Frank, Claire finds herself running for Congresswomen for her district in Dallas, Texas. She didn't need Frank and his authority to go and try to make a name. This woman did not wait for a go-ahead or another person to make a move. She is motivated and assured in herself to be the best she can be and will be.

3. Excellent International Skills

Claire's charm has taken her to new heights and new relationships. Unlike Frank, who only wants to get business done his way, Claire seeks a consensus in every negotiation regardless if it's with a captive, prisoner, or the president of the notorious Russia. However, she is not weak. Claire, time and time again, has stuck to her guns and has fired multiple times in the most deadly and immediate fashion without Franks help.

4. Seeks Solutions Quickly

Claire does not spend one moment on her doubts. Jumping in head first, Claire achieves high goals in faster timeframes than her husband. Her approval ratings are soaring. Not to mention, her ideas and plans for herself are far beyond what Frank can see. Time and time again, Frank is fooled by Claire's tricks and that's just what she wanted. She doesn't wait for your permission rather she waits for your reaction.

Next time you're at the voting booths, remembers what you want in a president. You want fierce women who can take charge, seek solutions, keep her word and push the limits that she will set and not those around her.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
