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!

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
