A Look At Grey's Anatomy Season 13

On September 22, 2016, the 13th season of Grey's Anatomyaired. A show lasting 13 seasons is crazy enough, but still having 4 of its main characters is even crazier. This season promises to focus on those four main characters that are left: Richard Webber, Miranda Bailey, Alex Karen, and of course, Meredith Grey.

Last season, we left Alex Karen under the impression that Andrew DeLuca was trying to take advantage of his drunk girlfriend, Jo Wilson in their apartment. His temper got the best of him and fans last saw Alex beating DeLuca with what looked like no intention of stopping. Meredith was stuck in a love triangle with her sister, Maggie and the new attending, Riggs. The only problem is...only Meredith knew about Maggie's feelings toward Riggs and Riggs' feelings toward Meredith herself. We knew she had a tough choice to make during this season opening. Bailey was struggling with her rogue husband, Ben, after he had been put on probation.

The episode that aired this past Thursday, "Undo" opened with DeLuca being unloaded from an ambulance and there being a mystery surrounding who beat him that badly. Well, it was a mystery to everyone, but Meredith, Alex, Jo, and DeLuca. The cops are looking for Alex, who had come in with Andrew on the ambulance.

In the midst of the craziness, Bailey gives medical privileges back to her husband who we had last seen performing an emergency c-section of April in Meredith's house before the wedding. Webber was attempting to console Jo, who had woke up completely disoriented. He tried to use his knowledge from being an ex-alcoholic to promise her that things were going to be okay. However, Richard did not know about the entirety of the situation.

We see Meredith, as usual, having too much on her plate. She is Maggie's sounding board as she rambles on about her ex-boyfriend, DeLucs and her new love interest, Riggs'. She is tiptoeing around Riggs, himself, trying to decide how to handle that situation. Of course, she is stuck in the middle of Alex's situation as one of the only people who know what really happened. That is where Meredith's real dilemma lies. Does she cover for her best friend or does she rat him out? There was that constant back and forth between siding with the person Alex used to be or with the person he had become.

The episode wraps with Riggs' coming to Meredith's door, despite Maggie being inside. It is then that Meredith makes the decision to back out of the love triangle. She tells Riggs that she just does not feel the same way about him that he does about her. However, the situation felt like it was left open, so I am sure we have not seen the last of the Meredith and Riggs relationship.

Meredith then went to visit Alex in jail after he turned himself into the police and was escorted out of the hospital in handcuffs. He was rambling on about 15-20 years in prison and about not being a surgeon, while Meredith was her calm self in the midst of crisis. She kept promising Alex that things were going to be okay, but the audience themselves are unconvinced. He did beat a man half to death, nearly ending a fellow doctors career. To top it all off, DeLuca is terrified of him, which will not go over well in a court of law.

The 13th season of Grey's Anatomy opened with a bang, proving that maybe just maybe they still have it. Of course, it does not top a mass shooting or the romantic relationship between Meredith and Derek, but it was good nonetheless.

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.
