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.
