ABC show Grey's Anatomy is nearing the end of its 14th season, and throughout the years, there have been some truly iconic characters. But, there has also been some truly awful characters that viewers did not love. While everyone has different opinions on the characters - here are the characters I think are the best and worst from the Grey's Anatomy. Do you agree with me? Share this with your friends and discuss!

If you're not caught up with the show, there may be some spoilers ahead - so read with caution.


Best: Miranda Bailey.

Miranda Bailey is best known for her iconic speeches in the most necessary circumstances. She is also Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital's first female chief of surgery. Dr. Bailey is the definition of girl power and we should all worship at her feet.



Worst: George O'Malley.

Some viewers adore George. I am not one of them. I thought his character was overall annoying, not that great at being a doctor, and liked to make his life seem more miserable than it really was.


Best: April Kepner.

April has been on the show since season 6 and has made quite the impact. All the girls were jealous of her when she married Dr. Avery, who is both a true hottie and surgical royalty, and all the girls were heartbroken for her when she lost her first baby. Through her obstacles and her Christian faith, she is a character that millions of viewers relate to.


Worst: Teddy Altman.

Teddy is a debatable character, but at the end of the day, I had to put her on the naughty list. While she's absolutely gorgeous, she did attempt to breakup Cristina and Owen's marriage and didn't appreciate the value of Mark Sloan trying to have an actual relationship with her. Therefore, I cannot respect her.


Best: Cristina Yang.

Would it even be a list of the best Grey's characters if Cristina was not on it? She basically picked her specialty as an intern and was by far the best resident in her year. She and Meredith were best friend goals and she went through her fair share of hard times. If you weren't heartbroken when she left the show - you are lying.


Worst: Izzy Stevens.

From cutting Denny's LVAD wires to sleeping with a married man to leaving Alex, Izzy was easily one of the worst characters on the show. According to sources close to the cast, the actress herself was not popular amongst the cast and crew.


Best: Lexie Grey.

LEXIE DESERVED BETTER. Being crushed to death by an airplane engine in the middle of the woods right as Mark decided to tell her that he still loves her? Seriously? She was a great resident, a great sister, and a great daughter and she deserved better. We deserved more Lexie.


Worst: Reed Adamson.

This character was annoying, thought she was smarter than she was, and was rude to the other residents for no reason. Granted, she did suffer an untimely and tragic death, but that doesn't excuse how awful her character was before then.


Best: Mark Sloan.

McSteamy was a hilarious, charming, witty character that brought a comical element to the show in every scene he had. He came into the show on an iffy note (as Derek's best friend who slept with his wife), but quickly became a fan favorite due to his sparkling personality. If there is a real-life version of Mark Sloan, I would like to find him.


Worst: Preston Burke.

There are not enough words in the world for me to explain all the reasons why I don't like Dr. Burke. He left Cristina at the alter, he was pretentious, and he was just not a very sociable character. It was hard to root for him when he only had one friend, who was also his intern, who was also his girlfriend.



Best: Derek Shepherd.

My world stopped turning the day that McDreamy died. His sudden death was heartbreaking and his narration of the entire situation only rubbed salt in the wound. He was an amazing surgeon, and an even more amazing husband/father. This "Neuro God" was by far the best and most attractive character to ever step foot on this show, and I will never forgive Shonda Rhimes for thinking it was ever necessary to kill him.

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.

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.
