'Scandal' Season 4 Premiere is Around the Corner & Here's What It's Like to Be The Only One In Your Friends Group Who Doesn't Watch

Listen, you work three jobs and go to school. Adding another, addicting television series like Scandal to your plate just isn't plausible for you right now. Which is sensible and responsible (because yeah, you're an adult now and you do those kinds of things), but it doesn't mean you don't face some serious FOMO when all your friends can't stop yapping about it.

But despite your avoidance, you hear Olivia Pope really likes wine, and you admire her for that. You do.
