14 Life Lessons We've Learned From Olivia Pope

1. You have to be confident in how great you really are.
Each of us have something that we are very good at, find it and own it. 


2. But you also have to know that you need help sometimes.
Each of us, at some point in our lives, will be the scandal and it is not cowardly, but brave, to ask for fixing. 


3. A glass of wine can fix any problem.
Drink up. 


4. Always stand up for yourself.
Olivia never let Millie cross the line, neither should you. 


5. The key to being successful at anything is to be twice as good.
Something is standing in between each of us and our goals. It is always going to be easier for someone else than it is for you. Work harder.


6. There is always another way to reach your goal, no matter how many times you have failed.
There is always another entrance, no matter how many doors have been slammed in your face.


7. You have to know how much you are worth.
Never allow yourself to be underestimated or disregarded. 


8. To know how much you deserve.
This one is simple. 


9. Trust your instincts.
Our gut may not be as impressive or as loud as Olivia's but still trust it, it's all you've got.


10. You have to take personal time when you need it.
Even if it is just one minute of quiet; take it and cherish it. 


11. You are a very powerful person.
OK, maybe not as powerful as Olivia Pope but you have more power than you know. 


12. Sometimes it takes a whole bottle of wine to fix it.
Drink up more. 


13. You should always try and wear the white hat.
Always live with the best intentions and work for the good of humanity. Also, it is never too late to turn around and put the white hat back on, no matter how dirty it has gotten. 


14. If you are ever in need of any life lessons, know that Olivia Pope has got you covered.
IT'S HANDLED.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
