College As Told By "Scandal"

"We all do terrible things."

College As Told By "Scandal"
ABC

The lives of Olivia Pope, Huck, Abby, Fitz, Mellie, Cyrus and more are anything but normal. So are the lives of college students. Here are some everyday situations that could easily be described by ABC's hit show "Scandal".

1. When you click with someone and you instantly become best friends.

"You're weird. Weird is good."

2. When you don’t get a text/snap back.

“Not all fairy tales have happy endings, my dear.”

3. When you’re out with your friends on the weekend and you feel like you can take on anyone and anything.


“I am not the girl the guy gets at the end of the movie. I am not a fantasy. If you want me, earn me!”


4. When you make your friends skip class to hang out with you.

“We all do terrible things.”

5. Making it through your last class of the day.

“Cheers, baby! I live to fight another day.”


6. Motivating yourself for an oral presentation or speech.

“I am a lion up there. I own that room. I work for it.”

7. When you think about all the work you have yet to get done but still decide to watch Netflix instead.

“It hurts until it doesn’t. You think it’s going to break you, but it won’t. You may not sleep as well at night, but you will be fine. Numb, but numb and fine are the same.”

8. When you’re getting served at the dining hall.

“The First Lady would like her chips, sir.”

9. When you finally convince that one friend to go out and you relay it to the rest of the group chat.

“It’s handled.”

10. Pulling all-nighters.

“Gladiators don't get to have feelings. We rush into battle. We're soldiers. We get hurt in the fight, we suck it up, and we hold the line, and we don't question.”

11. When someone tries to talk to you and you haven't even taken a sip of your first cup of coffee.

“You may be an animal, but I am a monster. And I am much more terrifying than you can ever imagine.”

12. Repeating “I’m going to fail this” multiple times while studying for a test with friends.

“I am being dramatic?”

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
