15 Shonda Rhimes Quotes To Start 2019 Like A Girl Boss
Guilty as charged.

I am probably one the the world's most obsessive quote lover. But hey, at least I own up to it! I mean, after all, they are pretty great. Through breakups, pre-midlife crisis and everything in between, there will always be a quote that makes the situation a little better. These quotes are no different. They encourage me to take action and believe in my power. They make me want to become the girl boss I have always dreamed of being.

Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.
