A Look Back On The First 12 Seasons Of Grey's Anatomy

Eleven years ago, Shonda Rhimes (AKA the women who made you believe in true love, shattered all of your expectations on what kind of love you want in your life, and then also has the power to break your heart at least once every season) created the award-winning television show, "Grey’s Anatomy." Throughout the last 12 seasons, we’ve seen the cast live and love, make mistakes, perform a few surgeries, and cry as we watched way too many of our beloved surgeons die.

In honor of season 13 premiering on Thursday, September 22, I thought I’d take a look back on the best and worst moments of the past 12 seasons.

The Most Amazing:

Meet Derek Shepherd

Season 1, Episode 1. She will always be the girl in the bar. He will always be the guy in the bar. Who new that sexy smile would be breaking our hearts for many seasons to come.

The Most Horrific:

Goodbye Derek Shepherd

Season 11, Episode 21. I never thought I'd cry over a fictional characters death...until McDreamy died. Why couldn't you have done a head CT????? I'm not even a doctor and I could have told you that!!

The best of the best:

The Wedding Day

Season 5, Episode 24. Maybe I should start stocking up on post-it notes. Who needs a costly wedding when you have a love like MerDer and can recite your vows on a yellow post-it note for a few dollars?

The worst of the worst:

The Plane Crash

Season 8, Episode 24. The most devastating part is watching Mark say goodbye to Lexi. And the fact that we soon will learn that Arizona will have her leg amputated. Anddd the emotional trauma to Meredith and Christina and Derek. I don't know why Shonda feels the need to traumatize the committed viewers...

The best:

The Adoption

Season 8, Episode 10. Literally the cutest family ever. They tried for years for one and then in the end, are given three, even if Ellis will never meet her father. Family is so important, whether it be biological, adopted, or happened when a group of surgeons is together for more than 10 years.

The Worst:

Kepner and Avery Loss

Season 11, Episode 11. April showed the world what strength and faith truly look like. Their troubles nearly destroyed them, but they taught us how different people cope, and sometimes they need the time apart to show them how much the other really cares.

The best line of all 12 seasons:


Season 2, Episode 5. Sometimes you have to fight for what you want in life. Meredith taught us all to fight for who we love. She is the role model for every women. She's independent, loving, intelligent, and know how to preserver in the face of adversity.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
