14 Life Lessons We've Learned From Olivia Pope

1. You have to be confident in how great you really are.
Each of us have something that we are very good at, find it and own it. 


2. But you also have to know that you need help sometimes.
Each of us, at some point in our lives, will be the scandal and it is not cowardly, but brave, to ask for fixing. 


3. A glass of wine can fix any problem.
Drink up. 


4. Always stand up for yourself.
Olivia never let Millie cross the line, neither should you. 


5. The key to being successful at anything is to be twice as good.
Something is standing in between each of us and our goals. It is always going to be easier for someone else than it is for you. Work harder.


6. There is always another way to reach your goal, no matter how many times you have failed.
There is always another entrance, no matter how many doors have been slammed in your face.


7. You have to know how much you are worth.
Never allow yourself to be underestimated or disregarded. 


8. To know how much you deserve.
This one is simple. 


9. Trust your instincts.
Our gut may not be as impressive or as loud as Olivia's but still trust it, it's all you've got.


10. You have to take personal time when you need it.
Even if it is just one minute of quiet; take it and cherish it. 


11. You are a very powerful person.
OK, maybe not as powerful as Olivia Pope but you have more power than you know. 


12. Sometimes it takes a whole bottle of wine to fix it.
Drink up more. 


13. You should always try and wear the white hat.
Always live with the best intentions and work for the good of humanity. Also, it is never too late to turn around and put the white hat back on, no matter how dirty it has gotten. 


14. If you are ever in need of any life lessons, know that Olivia Pope has got you covered.
IT'S HANDLED.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
