20 Cristina Yang Quotes To Get You Through Finals

If there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I love "Grey's Anatomy" with all my heart. Seriously, I might consider inviting show creator Shonda Rhimes to my wedding. In a recent interview, Rhimes revealed that she based the famous character Dr. Cristina Yang (played by Sandra Oh) on herself! Cristina is known for her strong will and dry humor (as well as some serious cardiothoracic surgery skills). Here are 20 of Dr. Yang's best quotes, serious and not-so-serious, to get you through the start of the push to finals week.


1. "Oh, screw beautiful, I'm brilliant. If you want to appease me, compliment my brain!"

2. "If you want crappy things to stop happening to you, then stop accepting crap and demand something more."

3. "If there's no food, I'm going home."

4. "Pretty is not enough. I wanna be great."

5. "Have some fire. Be unstoppable. Be a force of nature."

6. "Don't let what he wants eclipse what you need. He is very dreamy, but he is not the sun. You are."

7. "I didn't like teenage girls when I was a teenage girl."

8. "Do you know who you are? Do you know what's happened to you? Do you want to live this way?"

9. "When we're done here, can you braid my hair?"

10. "Mer, you had me at lethal injection."

11. "Can your mind be blown on your own time?"

12. "You almost make me want to learn your name."

13. "I am laughing. Just not externally."

14. "Well, I've grown up as much as I plan to, and I don't come around."

15. "I choose potato chips."

16. "I don't have a sourpuss, this is just my face."

17. "Being aware of your crap and actually overcoming your crap are two very different things."

18. "There comes a point when it all becomes too much. When we get too tired to fight anymore. So we give up. That's when the real work begins. To find hope where there seems to be absolutely none at all."

19. "Hey, if you have time to stare, you have time to get me coffee, so move, move, move!"

20. "Shut up. Dance it out."

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.

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.
