"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.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
