College Explained By Grey's Anatomy

Let the characters of "Grey's Anatomy" describe how you really feel about college.

College Explained By Grey's Anatomy

College can really be a struggle sometimes. And there are some struggles that every student can relate to. Who better to describe the struggle than the characters of “Grey’s Anatomy”? Their lives are so full of drama, I’m sure that they can relate.

1. When you get back to college and see your friends again.


You've spent an entire summer apart, now it's time to make up for lost time. (And to catch up on all of the gossip.)

2. When you professor gives you assignments during syllabus week.


Seriously, it's the first week of classes. Can't you give us some time to get used to being back in class?

3. When you find out that your professor is actually really hot.


Most of your professors are probably old and crotchety, so having a good-looking professor is a welcome change. Though, it might make it more difficult to pay attention in class.

4. Your reaction to that one person who has to comment on everything the professor says.

But really, we're just here to learn what we need to know for the next exam. There's really no need to show off.

5. When you realize that you have more than one class with someone.

This is a one-in-a-million chance, count it as a blessing. Now, you have one study partner for two (or more) classes.

6. When your best friend gets their heart broken.

Like they say: you break her heart, and I'll break your face. If you hurt my best friend, you are guaranteed a spot on my hit list.

7. When you have no idea what the professor is talking about.

It seems like any time you miss class, it's the day the most important lessons are being taught. Or maybe you just started daydreaming in the last class. Either way, you're lost, and catching up is not going to be easy.

8. How you feel by the time midterms come around.

Has it really been eight weeks already? Where did the time go? Why didn't you pay more attention, or study more? How do you manage do this to yourself every semester?

9. When you finally get to go out and have some fun.

You've been working hard, you've deserved it! Okay... maybe you're just proud you managed to get out of bed today. Either way, you've earned a night out.

10. How you feel after you take an exam that you were totally unprepared for.


Walking out of an exam you know you didn't well on sucks. You've failed yourself and brought dishonor to your family name. You're pretty sure that you're never going to graduate now. Go ahead, you're allowed a good cry session.

11. When finals are finally here and you're trying not to have a mental breakdown.


Finals week was specifically designed to make college students miserable. You've only had four hours of sleep in the past week and you're pretty sure all of your blood has been replaced with Red Bull and coffee.

12. Trying explain your grades to your parents.

Look, mom and dad, I really did try my best. But even Derek Sheppard made mistakes, and he was a brain surgeon. I think I'm allowed a slip-up or two.

13. When you find out you actually passed the class you thought you were going to fail.


You don't know how you managed to pass, but you did it. Probably best not to ask questions and just accept your good fortune.

14. Then you realize you have to do it all again next semester.

Why do you keep putting yourself through this torture? Oh right, the degree... Finding a rich spouse is starting to sound very tempting.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
