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!

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Your mom: you can't live with her, but you can't live without her. You love your mom, but she is insanely predictable. Here is a list of things your mom has probably done.

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
