It's handled.

5 Reasons Olivia Pope Is My Spirit Animal
ABC / Scandal

Let’s face it, Ms. Pope is the most intense female I have ever seen. Not only does she have time to conquer the political world, but she also has time to for the man, or should I say men, in her life too. She’s extremely fierce and never takes no for an answer. She is loyal to her gladiators, and would do absolutely anything for her friends.

" Scandal" is by far one of my favorite TV shows. With a strong female lead like Olivia, it’s almost impossible not to love it. Now I guess I can be honest, I am a very big pushover. I struggle telling people no, even when I know I am overloaded with so many other things. But hey, if Olivia can do it, I can do it.

1. She is effortlessly beautiful all the time

I mean let’s be honest, who stays up all night working on a case and then in the morning, still looks like a million bucks; Olivia Pope. The world around her could literally be falling apart and she still holds everything together, all the while, looking beautiful as ever.

2. She always gets it done

No matter how hard the job is, Olivia always gets it done. It’s where the famous quote, “It’s handled” came from, and she sure does handle it. Regardless of what her team is facing, or what the U.S. is overcoming, she is always there.

3. She completely demands a room when she walks in

She is one of those women that can simply walk into a room and everyone’s eyes are automatically drawn to her. She demands your attention with every word, and always leaves you wanting more.

4. She doesn’t play by the rules

She can definitely hold her own with the big dogs, but she plays by HER rules, and everyone knows that. It is her way or the highway, and she is totally fine with you walking out the door, because she knows you need her. It may not be the most conventional way of doing things, but it works for her.

5. People respect her and fear her

She is the most respectable “fixer” in Washington. People know she handles things with grace, and they respect that. At the same time, she holds a lot of respect, but people know you do not cross her. They are always afraid if they are up against her, knowing she does not lose often.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
