"It's handled," two words is all it takes to create a catch-phrase for a sitcom character named Olivia Pope. Olivia Pope is a lawyer who owns her own law firm in the tv showScandal. However if she does her job right, her clients will never spend a day in court. Olivia is a crisis-manager, a fixer. Olivia's taste in fashion and strong personality is enough for many woman to be inspired by, but she has even more reasons up her sleeve and here are my top three.


1. Olivia Pope is a fixer.


In life we will all go through struggles, even fixers. however it is how we deal with those problems that determine who we are. For example, some people need a pep talk, others are their own pep talk.

2. Both Olivia Pope and life are competitive.


Life as we know it is built on competition. This is a great quality to possess. We see competition while trying to find a job, in sports, politics and even between businesses competing against one another.

3. Olivia Pope trusts in her gut.


We are taught everything we learn through textbooks, however in life there will not always be a textbook answer for problems we may face. Science tells us some people are more right brained meaning more rational than others who may be left brained and more likely run by emotions. Although this may be true I believe everyone has gut feelings. the feeling that someone is lying or even telling the truth. A textbook cannot tell you that answer, but your gut can.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
