12 Times Cristina Yang Was All Of Us As College Students

Since Netflix took the world by storm, binge-watching has become a hobby of all of ours, and one show in particular currently has my heart: “Grey’s Anatomy.” I knew my mom watched it, and I'd heard the references to McDreamy and having a "person," but after watching the show, I think that it’s time that we all tell the truth: the only real reason we watched “Grey’s Anatomy” was for Cristina Yang. And now she's gone.

Why are we so attached to this sometimes annoying, always intense, but hilarious robot of a human being? Not only is she smart, sassy, and probably the greatest friend anyone could ever ask for, she’s all of us – at least us college students. She, being a surgeon, works hard to balance her work life and social life while we, being busy college students trying to figure out what the heck we want to do with our lives, try to balance our study life/work life/social life/personal life/sleep life. Don't believe me? Below are 12 situations in which she was totally us as college students.

1. As students, we question our life choices every day.


2. She shares our feelings when we finally get tired of the hook-up culture that is college dating.

3. And look – she's us at every social event.

4. This is us when we stop caring what people really think of us.

And once we realize we can't control other people, we're so much better off. Sometimes it's about the people who treat us terribly and other times it's definitely about walking into class with last night's makeup on and a wrinkled tee shirt.

5. She was actually us during finals week.

6. And because of the above, we were too tired to show emotion.

If you can sleep in college and actually be a fully functioning human being, I truly envy you.

7. When we're a little snappy due to stress and someone points it out.

"You're a little mean today."
"Really? Bite me."

8. She's totally us when we've read one too many articles about social justice for class and are really enlightened to all sorts of social issues.

"Wow, I didn't realize how much people suck."

9. Then, there's us when someone's telling us a story, but we have no time for anyone's whining but our own because, well, life.

10. She's also us when it's finals week and there aren't enough hours to study in the day.

11. She was totally that senior telling us how to survive the rest of college and real life.


12. She's that friend for life that our parents would tell us we'd find in college and that we strive to be.

So, know that it's okay to love Cristina Yang more than every other person on the show, and admit that you're only watching because of her. And, if you're not watching -- well, you should definitely get on that because nobody's more relatable in Shondaland than Queen Yang herself.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
