Grey's Anatomy's Best Forgotten Character

Maybe it should be called Bokhee Anatomy?

Grey's Anatomy's Best Forgotten Character
Wikia

When anyone thinks about Grey's Anatomy, they think about Meredith Grey, Christina Yang or McDreamy (Derek Shepherd). People think about the surgeons of the show and often forget the other very important characters such as the nurses. With all of the chaos that has surrounded Grey's Anatomy over the years, there has been one constant: Bokhee. Don't know who Bokhee is or remember her? She is the cute little Asian scrub nurse that appears throughout the show and she should be everyone's favorite character.

1. Bohkee has appeared in every Season of Grey's Anatomy, with very few words.

12 seasons -- that is how long Grey's Anatomy has been on the air, plus it's been renewed for another season. If you have survived all 12 seasons, you are a living legend. Let's be honest, most people don't make it through all 12 seasons, with the exception of Meredith Grey of course, and Bokhee. But what makes Meredith different from Bokhee is that Bokhee has one line in all 12 seasons. "Yes, Doctor," are the only words that the best scrub nurse at Grey Sloan Memorial says. Yet, she is always there, in every O.R. of every major surgery.

2. She is a retired scrub nurse in real life and works with open heart surgeries in Los Angeles.

Lets just say that this fact alone makes Bokhee win at life. No wonder she is everyone's favorite scrub nurse, she already knew what she was doing! Forget training, forget acting school, she is just doing what she always does. What really makes me wonder is why Bokhee would want to play a scrub nurse when she did it most of her life already but I guess you could say that's just the kind of person Bokhee is.

3. She guest appeared in Private Practice, during one of the cross over episodes at Seattle Grace Hospital

If you are like me, after the first time you binge-watched Grey's Anatomy, you weren't quite sure what to do with your life. Well, of course, you looked up related television shows and found the second best option to GA itself, Private Practice. Private Practice is a spin-off show of Grey's Anatomy that stars the hot and fierce Addison Montgomery, the first wife of Derek Shepherd from GA. Although the show takes place in Los Angeles, there were several episodes that starred characters from Greys Anatomy and some episodes even took place in Seattle at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. Of course, they couldn't have cross over episodes without their favorite scrub nurse, Bohkee. So she didn't get to air on just one medical show, but two well-known shows with some of the best "doctors" I know.

4. She survived the "clear out" during the Mercy West merger.

Grey Sloan Memorial went through a lot of "clear outs" before it even became Grey Sloan. The nurses went on strike, they had rotations in chief's, they even had a shooting. But of course, the infamous Mercy West merger cleared out the most employees, especially the nurses. However, in the face of all that, Bokhee remained an employed scrub nurse at one of the best hospitals in the country.

5. Sandra Oh claims that Bokhee in real life is like her second mom

Christina Yang is my spirit animal. She is literally me in a nutshell and one of the best things to happen to Grey's Anatomy (yes, I am still upset about her departure). Since Yang is my spirit animal, that, by default, makes Sandra Oh one in the same. Therefore, if Sandra Oh claims that Bokhee is like her second mom, Bokhee is therefore my second mom, which I am perfectly okay with.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
