7 Life Lessons We Learned From 'Grey's Anatomy'

Being a huge "Grey's Anatomy" fan, I only thought it was fitting to write about why I love the show so much. The show has not only been very entertaining, but it also taught me some really valuable life lessons.

1. Being beautiful isn't the most important thing in the world.

Everyone seems to be so focused on being attractive or being popular, but really what is important is how you treat people and where you let your intelligence take you.


2. Everyone needs a "person."

The Meredith Grey and Cristina Yang combo ain't nothin' to f*** with. They both get each other and always lean on each other through everything. It's definitely important to have someone you can count on, and be "your person."


3. No one is perfect—not you, not me.

Life is flawed. People are not perfect and you will be disappointed if you think so. Life is tough and to get through it, you need to be realistic.


4. You never know what the next day will bring.

We all know "Grey's" is extremely heartbreaking and kills off those we love. But it also makes a point that you never know when it's "your time." Always tell someone you love them, always end on a good note with people.


5. Sometimes your life falls apart but you need to pick up the pieces.

Sometimes we all need to fall apart to pick ourselves back up again—and that's OK.


6. Find yourself and love yourself before you give your all to someone else.

One of my favorite quotes from Grey's is what Cristina Yang says to Meredith Grey about her Husband, McDreamy, Derek Shepherd.


7. Don't be afraid to fall in love.

It's scary and it doesn't always have a happy ending, but that shouldn't stop you from doing it.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
