" Scandal" lover or not, we all look up to Olivia Pope. She has an exciting and fulfilled love life, way of living, and overall fascinating personality.

Here are some ways to live your life more like Olivia Pope:

Take charge and call the shots:

Olivia Pope is always in charge. Even when it comes to President Fitzgerald Grant, Olivia is the one running the show. We should all try and take a little more control whether its at work, at home, or in our relationships.

Choose men wisely:

Nobody has a more exquisite taste in men than Olivia Pope. Whether it is the president of the United States or the influential navy retiree Jake Ballard, who once worked in the pentagon. Olivia never settles for less than she deserves or allows men to get away with treating her poorly. We could all take a note from Olivia when it comes to choosing our suitors.

Have Ambition:

Olivia Pope is never lacking motivation. She strives to be the best she can be and win a war against anyone around her. Olivia Pope speaks freely and continues to preserver even when things are standing in her way or people are trying to knock her down. Ambition is something we can definitely learn from Olivia.

Trust Your Gut:

When Olivia makes up her mind or makes a decision, she goes with it. Olivia decides things based on how she feels and what her “gut” is telling her. She doesn’t allow others to influence her choices or actions.

Always strive to wear the white hat:

Not only does Olivia always come out on top, but she does so wearing the “white hat.” She plays the hero and aims to help the right people in every situation that comes her way. She exposes liars and cheaters and protects the honest. Like Olivia, we should all try to wear the white hat.

Dress for success:

We have all drooled over Olivia’s impeccable taste at one point or another. Whether in her home, in the office, or in the white house Olivia is always dressed elegantly, ready for her photo to pop up on page one of the Washington Post. Even when her relationships are in turmoil or work in the office is crazy, Olivia is always perfectly put together. Many times we have a bad day and throw on our sweatpants for the grocery store, or are feeling tired so we skip the morning make up routine. We can all learn a lesson from Olivia Popes Wardrobe and dress for success.

Red Wine:

Anyone who watches Scandal knows that Olivia loves a good glass of wine, or three at the end of a long day. Almost every episode ends with Olivia on the couch with a glass in hand. It's important that we all allow ourselves to unwind at the end of every stressful day.

Olivia Pope has a successful career, handsome and powerful suitors, and a life of adventure and excitement. Everyone who watches "Scandal" admires Olivia and her ability to be a smart, beautiful, and empowered woman. With Olivia as our inspiration we can all be gladiators.

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.
