Olivia Pope is notably one of the most iconic female TV characters in history. As a Washington, D.C. crisis manager, her job truly never ends. Despite this, she ends up handling life better than all of us with some bold life mottos. If you ever need empowering inspiration, Olivia Pope shares only the wisest of words.

"My white hat is bigger than your white hat."

Nothing wrong with a little healthy competition!

"I'm never out of options."

No matter what life throws her way, she always has a plan.

"I'm scared."

Olivia rarely expresses vulnerability as she likes to maintain the status of an indestructibly strong and fearless woman. However, she reminds us that it is okay to let our guards down and admit our true feelings.

" If you want me, earn me!"

She knows her worth and sets the example that women are not a prize to be won, but instead respectable individuals who deserve to be treated as equals to men.

"I want painful, difficult, devastating, life-changing, extraordinary love."

Olitz has to be the most complicated relationship in the whole entire world. However, Olivia and Fitz demonstrate that true love and relationships take determination, sacrifice, and loyalty.

"Don't you worry 'bout a thing."

This is by far one of the most memorable Scandal scenes as Liv finally lets loose, and chooses herself. Choosing yourself and ensuring your personal well being only enhances your overall confidence and self-love.

"It's handled."

Olivia knows there is no one else in D.C. who excels at her job as well as she does. Her character embodies a smart, bold, and courageous woman who serves as a role model to us all.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
