*Note: This list contains no plot spoilers, you’re welcome*
1. You will have no idea what to think during any part of the musical episode (just go with it, it’ll be over before you know it).
2. Those time lapse episodes that go from past to present to future and then back again will leave you wondering what year you’re in for the next few episodes.
3. When you re-watch old seasons, it isn’t full of fond memories. It feels like getting hit in a place where you already have a bruise, reminding you that, yup, it still hurts.
4. You might generate a moderate conspiracy against surgeons when they give dumb “students” the chance to “learn” and they end up killing the patient, because wow, that’s super reassuring.
5. It will have you washing your hands like you’re scrubbing into the OR by washing up to your elbows and raising your hands while still wet, assuming that your bathroom now has an automatic door that will lead you into your first solo surgery.
6. You assume that you know all medical jargon now and that you don’t need to pay attention in doctor’s visits.
7. You’ll be watching Grey’s with the lights off and the stark white logo screen will blind you for a few seconds.
8. It makes you want to go to med school during the good episodes, and you'll be glad you’re only shooting for a 4 year degree during the bad ones.
9. The song "Breathe (2 a.m.)" by Anna Nalick will be engraved in your soul forever (don’t fight it, it’s a great tune).
10. It makes you really confused when famous people cameo. Because Grey’s has been on so long, they snagged those people before they were famous (ex. Coach Eric Taylor from Friday Night Lights and Katherine Heigl before her 27 Dresses days).
11. You will lose all faith in Grey’s for a hot second when "Swimming Pools (Drank)" starts playing as background music in the operating room.
12. You know what it means when characters say, "BP is dropping," "to push one of EPI," and "Get them straight to the OR." You'll also know what it means to sign a DNR and what a Code Blue is.
13. Grey’s assures you that you will never know who’s going to end up with who. Seriously, the amount of dating incest that happens at that hospital is unreal.
14. You find yourself calling everyone “your person.”
15. You’ll coin your life as “dark and twisty” like Meredith and Christina, when the only thing dark is your bedroom when you watch Grey’s, and the twisty part is your sheets all wound up.
16. The Season 8 finale WILL rip your heart out, no questions asked.
17. You have hated every single character at least once. (Look, another flawed character! Thanks Grey’s for being realistic, but there couldn’t have been one hero of the show?)
18. As a college student, you can relate to the interns because they’re young, constantly tired, always studying, and scared about their actual jobs in the upcoming future.
19. You’ll find yourself wishing you had a relationship like basically every couple for one episode and immediately regretting that decision once they screw something up.
20. You will cry … you may think this will never happen to you, and it may come when you least expect it, but in due time you WILL cry.
