The Return Of Scandal

9

The day I have been waiting for all summer is almost here: Sept. 25. Get ready ladies, Scandal is finally returning for season four, tomorrow.

If you haven’t crossed over into Scandal addiction yet, stop reading, pull out your laptop and open Netflix immediately. If you are a Scandal fan, read on and enjoy. Glass of wine, optional.

With all of the plot twists that Shonda Rhimes wrote in for season three, I’m not entirely sure that season four can get any better. We were left in despair during the season three finale, as the infamous Olivia Pope jetted off to an unknown location with Jake Ballard. I don’t know about you, ladies, but I’m Team Fitz all the way. If you’re not, I won’t judge you (much). But, seriously, how could you be Team Jake?

Season 4 will begin with Fitz as the newly reelected president. But one question still remains: where in the world is Olivia Pope. A teaser was released last week that revealed she was on a beach, glass of wine in hand, naturally. So what’s in store for season four? TVLine interviewed Shonda Rhimes, the show’s creator, and found out some juicy information. She stated that Olivia would be coming back to Washington, but everything will be different. She said this season will show a different side of Mellie, more of Abby, and a power hungry Papa Pope.

Since I’ve had all summer to contemplate what will happen this upcoming season, I’ve come up with a few predictions, as follows.

Olivia will come back to DC with boyfriend Jake in tow. This one pains me, but it is a possibility. Olivia has admitted that she has feelings for Jake. She also often states she just wants to “stand in the light.” She knows that by being with Jake, she won’t have to hide the relationship, like she does with Fitz.

Two episodes in, Olivia gives in to Fitz and we see a little action in the Oval Office. I honestly believe this is inevitable. Olivia can’t stay awake from Fitz and Fitz can’t stay away from Olivia. It’s bound to happen.

Huck and Quinn break off their relationship. I don’t know about you all, but I hope to God this one is true. Their relationship is strange and somewhat creepy. I like Huck, but the new Quinn is freaking me out. 

Mellie and Andrew, round two. Poor Mellie. You can’t help but feel badly for her. I started the series hating her, but as the episodes have rolled on, I’ve become more and more of a fan. She gets what she wants and she gets things done. What else is there to know?

That’s all I have for you, so get ready to turn on ABC at 9 p.m. tomorrow. I know it’s Cactus night, but ask yourself which one is more important. Go have a wine night and watch some Olivia Pope with your girls. I know I am.

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.
