15 Reasons Why We Love Peggy Carter: A Tribute

First appearing in “Captain America: The First Avenger,” Margaret “Peggy” Carter stole the heart of every moviegoer. Peggy Carter is one of the most important characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and it shows with her continued appearances both on television shows and movies. She fought for the Allies in World War II, moved to New York to work for the Strategic Scientific Reserve, and then helped bring S.H.I.E.L.D. into the world. She ultimately was granted her own television show appropriately titled “Agent Carter,” but ABC cut the show after only two seasons. So this one’s for you, Peggy. We miss you.

1. She defied all prejudices

Peggy Carter always faced ridicule for being a female in the field. She never backed down, though, and I think that's why so many people like her. She's relatable, and she fought against the patriarchy.

2. She helped others to do so too

Dr. Jason Wilkes was a scientist introduced in the second season of Peggy's show. He was continuously slandered for being a black scientist in the '50s, but Peggy once again didn't back down. She lifted him up in true social justice warrior style.

3. She was the basis for S.H.I.E.L.D.

The intelligence group that keeps the world safe? Yeah, she helped create that.

4. She was the one who Phil Coulson looked up to

Season three, episode 20 of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." showed Coulson mourning after Peggy's death before he explained to Agent May that she was the one that inspired him to become an agent himself.

5. Her love for Steve Rogers

She never gave up on him, and if that's not relationship goals, I don't know what is.

6. How everyone knew about their unrequited love.

Okay, so this scene broke my heart in "Captain America: Civil War." Their love quite literally transcended time, but with great love comes great loss.

7. Her fashion sense

Need I say more? She's stunningly gorgeous.

8. ...and how she still kicks major butt

Gorgeous and fierce.

9. Her twisted sense of humor

I'm just saying that I wouldn't want to be on her hit list.

10. Her relationship with Jarvis

This dynamic duo leaves nothing to be desired. #FriendshipGoals

11. Her relationship with Howard Stark

Howard Stark often supplies the comedic relief in the show, but when push comes to shove, they can always rely on each other.

12. How much others respect her

Her boss (Chad Michael Murray) even believes she knows what she's doing. It's basically confirmed that she's the best agent.

13. Her sassiness

If glares could kill, Peggy would be on the FBI's most wanted list.

14. Her overall cuteness

Come on. Who doesn't think she's a cute warrior?

15. Fnally her independence

Peggy is one tough cookie and fiercely independent, but that doesn't mean she doesn't absolutely cherish the people in her life.

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.
