11 Reasons Why Claire Underwood is the Best Character on 'House of Cards'
House of Cards

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.

*Warning! Spoilers Ahead!

1. She is a strong, independent woman.

She is not afraid to do her own thing. She creates her own light, not hiding in the shadow of her husband.

2. She is ambitious.

She works hard throughout all of her jobs in the show. Whether it was working for the Clean Water Initiative, being First Lady or Ambassador to the United Nations, she crushes it.

3. She is loyal to her husband.

Though they don't have the best relationship, at the end of the day, Claire is always at Francis' side, even when he doesn't deserve it.

4. Not only is she loyal to Francis, she is constantly keeping up his public image.

Francis would not be the President of the United States if it were not for Claire. She worked at the Clean Water Initiative to boost the image of Francis, along with many other political moves to get him where he is.

5. She is quite the classy first lady.

Let's face it she is fabulous. I ship Francis and Claire. Claire completes Francis; she makes him look good, and is able to stand alone all by herself.

6. She is a stellar ambassador to the United Nations.

She is not afraid to throw down in the political arena. She gets aggressive, forceful, and will get things done.

7. She is brilliant.

She has masters degree from Harvard University...pretty impressive. She is constantly thinking ahead, planning her next move, to gain success for herself as well as Francis.

8. She's not afraid to speak out when she knows something is not right.

Just look at the whole Petrov situation.

9. She doesn't take any crap from anyone.

She will call anyone out for being ridiculous, including her own husband.

10. Her style is killer!

Even in her pajamas, she looks awesome!

11. She is the best character on "House of Cards."

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
