College is an interesting place. With stress never before experienced, strange norms, and a collective sense of hysteria, it's easy to feel like no one in the real world really gets us. However, shows like Grey's Anatomy are here to show us that we aren't alone in this world. So, as dead week begins and finals stress compounds, sit back, take a breath, and read ahead to see all of the funny times Grey's Anatomy said what we were all thinking.
1. When you finally make your schedule and look up all of your professors on http://www.ratemyprofessors.com, only to find that half aren't on there.
2. When the person who always talks during lecture misses a day and asks you for the notes.
3. When your first round of exams comes around and you stay up all night watching Netflix and stress eating instead of studying.
4. When you're midway through finals week and you don't have time for those long Starbucks lines.
5. When you get that 2am "come over" snapchat and realize college boys are no better than high school boys.
6. When you go to your first club callouts.
7. When you have three exams in one week and have no time for basic necessities.
8. When it's the weekend and someone tries to talk about stressful school work.
9. When you meet up with your study group and realize they're just as clueless as you are.
10. When you haven't done anything for the betterment of society all year but decide to donate blood in your school's annual blood drive.
11. And finally, when you go out with your friends and get way too drunk, even though you said a few days ago you would never drink again.
So, there you have it. Yes, Grey's Anatomy may not be real (as much as we all wish Derek and Meredith were together in real life), but part of me is comforted knowing that even Cristina Yang gets stressed out. If this list is any indication, after all of this is over, we'll get to marry our own McDreamy, build our dream home, and lead an extremely successful career.
