10 Reasons To Watch Grey's Anatomy Instead Of Doing Homework

Why do homework when you could binge watch Grey's??? I know you would rather watch McDreamy and McSteamy than do your lab report so I'm giving you the green light by making 10 justifications so you can watch guilt free.

1. It's a medical show so you can learn

I know that this show is mostly just drama, but hey, they do talk about medicine for about 10 minutes an episode. Seattle Grace/ Seattle Grace Mercy West/ Grey Sloan Memorial is a learning hospital. If you want to be a doctor like me, this is technically active learning. It's like you are shadowing the doctors! It's almost the same as being in the OR yourself! I think after watching enough seasons I could suture right now without supervision.

2. Episodes are generally quick

You can watch an episode in like 40-45 minutes so it really doesn't take that long. Also, if you eat dinner while watching you are a certified multitasking champion.

3. Mark Sloan

He's sexy. Enough said.

4. It's a cultural experience

Grey's Anatomy is a pop culture phenomenon so you're really just trying to connect with your peers.

5. It's the perfect stress reliever

Nothing relieves stress like watching other people who are more stressed out than you! Yes, you might be having a bad day, but the patients at Seattle Grace are having an even worse day.


6. It can improve your health

Crying is healthy for you. You can burn up to 4 calories a minute while sobbing, so it can be considered a workout. With the amount of crying you do while watching Grey's Anatomy, you could run a half-marathon by this time next year!

7. Homework won't teach you life lessons

Will homework help you decide whether or not you should cut the love of your life's LVAD wire in order to get him to the top of the heart transplant list? Didn't think so.

8. You deserve it

You work hard all week long. Give yourself this moment. You rip and run all week long. You help people and hold doors. This is time for yourself. You deserve it! Treat yo' self!

9. You don't want to be that person

You know who I'm talking about. That person who hasn't caught up to season 13 yet. Your day is going to get absolutely wrecked when people spoil entire seasons by accident. I've been that person many times and it's freaking awful. You know that thing with George? That whole situation was completely spoiled for me, and I knew what was going to happen the entire season and I was just waiting for it. Still cried, though.

10. You are a procrastinator

You aren't going to do the homework until 1 am anyway and you know it, so you might as well just enjoy yourself!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
