How Christina Yang Accurately Describes Adulthood

Best character on Grey's Anatomy hands down.

How Christina Yang Accurately Describes Adulthood

I've watched Grey's Anatomy so many times I can practically predict which character is going to die next. (SPOILER ALERT! Everyone you love dies and you cry, a lot.) One of the best characters in the show is Christina Yang because, while she may be distant, she is also caring in her own special way, and her perspective on life is accurate.

Having a significant other:

Being in a relationship where it feels like you are always giving and not receiving is toxic, and Christina reminds everyone that the most important thing in your life is you.

Looks will fade:

This is very true, there will be a point where collagen won't be able to do it's job as well as it used to and what truly matters is what you have learned.

What you wear to class doesn't matter:

Trust me, I'm more worried about getting the notes in Physics about Quantum Theory than if you have the latest Jordan's, or those new Lulu Lemon yoga pants. As long as you have good hygiene and you don't disrupt lectures, wear what you want.

Wasting time pleasing people:

Caring about what your loved ones think about you is important, but sometimes we start caring about what complete strangers think. That's when we have to take a step back and evaluate if those worries will build us up or tear us down.

Going to meetings or classes where attendance is not required:

I would still go because that's just who I am, but if I'm having a bad day or I am hungry? That's when I channel Christina.

Being able to sleep in while everyone is getting ready for work:

Being awake before everyone else and making a cup of coffee is amazing, but sleeping in whilst everyone is preparing to go to work or class is THE BEST FEELING!

When you can't find a professor on RateMyProfessor:

We all want to see how tough our semester will be with this specific professor so we look them up, and to our horror they are either new to the University or adjuncts, and there is no information on them.

Seeing the syllabus or work schedule for the first time:

You give yourself a pep talk about how you will crush it, but deep down you have a sense of impending doom.

When you realize people your friends are getting married, engaged, or having baby showers:

Seriously, where is time going? It feels like just yesterday I had to ask my high school teacher for permission to use the restroom.

That face you make when you get a text from your crush:

That feeling of "Wow, this person is thinking about me" is great, because, at least for that moment, someone other than loved ones is interested in your life. You are now one step closer to finding your own McDreamy.

When you get extensions on assignments or projects:

Having a million things to do is stressful, but there is always that one God-sent professor or manager who grants you extensions and you automatically feel closer to that person.

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
