Even if you've only seen one episode of Grey's Anatomy, you've been inspired. From Meredith Gray's passionate advice to Cristina Yang's witty comments, they've been great. Grey's Anatomy has definitely pushed me through some rough patches. For example, my first week of college was pretty rough. I missed home, and I really missed my pets. (Yes, I'm a crazy dog and cat lady.) My mom and I were talking and she said, "You just need to watch an episode of Grey's Anatomy." Obviously, she was right. I just needed some Derek Shepard in my life. With that said, here are 8 Grey's Anatomy quotes to get you through college. Or in my case, life.
1. "At some point, you just have to let go, move on. Because no matter how painful it is, it's the only way we grow." - Meredith Gray
There will be people in your life that you won't be able to keep around during college. It's a sad reality, but it's the truth. There's some people that just don't take life as seriously as you do.
2. "I'm a human being. I make mistakes, I'm flawed. We all are." - Derek Shepard
Let's be real, Derek Shepard is not flawed.
On a serious note, this is college. You will make mistakes. You will probably fail an exam, maybe two. But like Derek says, it's okay. We're all flawed.
3. "Have some fire. Be unstoppable. Be a force of nature." - Cristina Yang
Maybe you'll disagree with me on this, but be a kiss up. Not too much, because then it gets weird. But seriously, have the same fire as Cristina does. Don't be afraid to show off your skills, and don't be hesitant to show out your classmates, because you deserve this. You deserve for your professor to know how hard you've worked and how much you know.
4. "You can't just give up. That's lame." - Alex Karev
My first week of college was filled with thoughts like, "Am I cut out for this?" "Can I really do this?" The answer--HELL YES. I couldn't imagine actually leaving Indiana University Southeast. I see this as a commitment I made, and yes Alex, it would be super lame of me to leave my home.
5. "Friends are the family we choose." - Meredith Gray
Find your people. To get through college, you need friends. You need to find the Cristina to your Meredith.
6. "You should be here. We should be drunk." - Cristina Yang
"UHM, I NEED MY BEST FRIEND. LIKE NOW." - My daily thoughts in college.
7. "All you can do is be brave enough to get out there." - Mark Sloan
Seriously. Don't be afraid to get out there. Whether it's making new friends, or going to your professor's office for help. This is what college is about. Go to that party and make some new friends! You never know, you may find your person there. Go talk individually with your professor, it may be the deciding factor of passing or failing your next exam. NETWORK people, it's the key to success.
8. "It's like we're on a train that's going 200 miles per hour." - George O'Malley
I hear ya, George. This is the definition of college: A train that's going 200 miles per hour. Enough said.
