When I first started watching the hit show "Grey's Anatomy," I hated the character of Cristina Yang. I thought she was rude, annoying, and selfish. However, as I am finishing the ninth season of this show, Cristina Yang has become my favorite character (along with Bailey). Cristina Yang has all the qualities I admire and I think every woman should aspire to be as strong as her. The following is a small list of reasons why I think Cristina is the best.

1. She is ambitious and hardworking

Giphy

Cristina Yang never settles. Being great isn't enough, she has to be the best. In season 9 when Cristina felt she wasn't doing enough research, she purposely cut the Cardio department's funding so she could get all the work. She used to reach the hospital early every day during her residency to have the first choice in medical cases. Her primary focus is her workResilientand she lets nobody come in the way of that. She doesn't get caught up in looks or fashion. She has an unwavering focus and determination.

2. She is confident

Giphy

Cristina knows her talent and her intelligence. She believes in herself and never backs away from something that is hard/challenging. She has both mental and physical self-confidence.

3. She is a fighter

Giphy

There have been so many tragedies on "Grey's Anatomy" and Cristina Yang has been through it all. Whether it was the hospital shooting, the plane crash, or troubles in her marriage, she went through a lot of emotional and physical pain. She hit rock bottom. However, after each tragedy, she came back stronger than ever.

4. She is inspiring

Tenor

Just watching Cristina's character is inspiring: her ambition, her talent, her work ethic. But not only that, Cristina's character is inspiring to her friends in need. Whether it is telling George to stop accepting crap or helping Meredith in a time of need, she always inspires her friends to get back up and fight.

5. She is honest

Tenor

Cristina tells things the way they are. She is blunt and honest and doesn't sugar coat things.

6. She is relatable

Tenor

Lastly, although Cristina Yang is the best of the best, she is still relatable.

These 13 movies are the foundation of any long-lasting relationship, and I'm not joking. Each movie will show you something new about your partner, and make you ask each other the hard questions. How many kids do you want and how are you going to raise them? What would happen if you got into a horrible accident? Some are less serious though, like what if you could time travel?

I promise that not every one of these movies is a Nicholas Sparks classic, and I also promise that not every movie has Rachel McAdams in it!

1. "The Time Traveler's Wife"

This movie is both heartbreaking and amazing.

2. "About Time"

Let's be honest, Rachel McAdams is in all the best love stories. It's on Netflix right now, so grab some snacks and turn it on!

3. "Like Crazy"

This infamous Tumblr gif came from "Like Crazy." It's about a couple who goes long distance and build their life together. I used to cry every time I watched it, and I'm no crier! It also has the (now famous) Felicity Jones in it.

4. "The Notebook"

Every girl wants this kind of love.

5. "The Last Song"

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are literally married now so if that isn't good luck, I don't know what is.

6. "Safe Haven"

You guessed it! This is another Nicholas Sparks classic. This movie has a dark twist as well, which men will love.

7. "Inside Out"

You may be thinking that this one is a bit weird. Well, this movie will help both you and your partner understand each other's emotions better.

8. "The Choice"

This movie is great because the female lead is feisty and extremely intelligent, which usually doesn't happen in love stories. How do you keep the love alive with a woman who is hard to get, and even harder to keep entertained?

9. "The Longest Ride"

Originally I could not stand the main female lead (Britt Robertson) but now she is in one of my favorite shows (For The People), so I have no choice. This movie had me on the end of my seat, and as a rom-com it is a must.

10. "The Age Of Adaline"

I began loving the name 'Adaline' thanks to this movie. This unlikely love story and self love journey really gets me.

11. "The Vow"

Imagine falling in love with someone and building a life, but an accident forces you to start all over?

12. "Titanic"

If they don't have any sort of reaction to this movie, they are probably not the one for you.

13. "Yours, Mine, & Ours"

Yours, Mine, & Ours is a true classic. Are you Helen or Frank Beardsley? You should figure that out before you tie the knot!

You're welcome!

This is it early 2000's babies, a compilation finally made for you. This list is loaded with things that will make you swoon with nostalgia.

1. Not being accepted by the late 90's kids.

Giphy

Contrary to what one may think, late 90's and early 00's kids had the same childhood, but whenever a 00's kid says they remember something on an "only 90's kids will understand" post they are ridiculed.

2. Fortune tellers.

Giphy

Every day in elementary school you would whip one of these bad boys out of your desk, and proceed to tell all of your classmates what lifestyle they were going to live and who they were going to marry.

You could never read this book past 8 o'clock at night out of fear that your beloved pet rabbit would come after you.

4. Silly bands.

You vividly remember begging your parents to buy you $10 worth of cheap rubber bands that vaguely resembles the shape of an everyday object.

5. Parachutes.

The joy and excitement that washed over you whenever you saw the gym teacher pull out the huge rainbow parachute. The adrenaline that pumped through your veins whenever your gym teacher tells you the pull the chute under you and sit to make a huge "fort".
