14 "Grey's Anatomy" Quotes To Get You Through The End Of The Semester
Slate

It's reached that point in the semester that everyone dreads. Test after test. Paper after paper. The work overload seems to make it easier to just crawl into bed after a long day and throw on Netflix to avoid all responsibilities. So while you're avoiding your work on a "Grey's" binge, here are 14 quotes from the doctors at Grey-Sloan that will make it seem like it's not the end of the world.

1. "Life is messy. That’s how we’re made." --Meredith Grey

Your life may seem super overwhelming right now, but that's okay. Just remember you always have tomorrow to wake up and try again.

2. "It’s good to be scared. It means you still have something to lose." --Richard Webber

Handing in that final paper or walking into that final test can be one of the scariest moments of the whole year. Being afraid is okay, you've worked all semester long towards this, and you want to show that you learned and tried your hardest.

3. "I’m a human being. I make mistakes. I’m flawed. We all are." --Derek Shepherd

And if you fail that quiz or assignment, it's okay. Everyone messes up sometimes, it only means you're human.

4. "But the carousel never stops turning." --Ellis Grey

But life isn't going to stop. That one bad grade won't hold you back from the rest of your life.

5. "Either let the guilt throw you back into the behavior that got you into trouble in the first place, or learn from the guilt and do your best to move on." --Meredith Grey

Yes, you may be disappointed in yourself, but that only means you can go up from here. Keep moving onward and upward.

6. "If you want crappy things to stop happening to you, then stop accepting crap and demand something more." --Cristina Yang

Study 10 times harder for that next test. Get extra help and go to review sessions for that final. Prove that you're as good as you know you are.

7. "If there’s something you don’t like about yourself, stop comparing yourself to others and focus on you." --Sara Ramirez

Your best friend or roommate may have gotten a perfect grade on that test, but be happy with that 75. You worked your butt off and know that you deserved that grade. Be happy in your own improvement and don't let a single test or number define the rest of your life.

8. "Make a plan. Set a goal. Work towards it. But every now and then, look around. Drink it in. ‘Cause this is it. It might all be gone tomorrow." --Meredith Grey

Work for it! Start that 12-page paper two weeks before it's due instead of two hours. You know you'll regret it in the long run if you don't. But also take time to laugh with your friends, go out, and enjoy what is happening now.

9. "Just when we think we’ve figured things out, the universe throws us a curveball. So we have to improvise. We find happiness in unexpected places. We find our way back to the things that matter the most." --Meredith Grey

Don't let those surprise pop quizzes in the class that you already have two papers and three tests in beat you; you got this.

10. "Life is not a spectator sport. Win, lose or draw, the game is in progress, whether we want it to be, or not." --Meredith Grey

Don't sit back and let the work overpower you. You know that you're capable and you will make it through this.

11. "Failure is inevitable, unavoidable but failure should never get the last word." --Meredith Grey

Getting an F on an assignment isn't the end of the world. Improve yourself and study more. You're not a failure.

12. "We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today’s possibility under tomorrow’s rug, until we can’t anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves." --Meredith Grey

Everything's a learning experience. When you fail you learn and when you pass you learn. Don't any experience pass you by.

13. "When there's something you really want, fight for it, don't give up no matter how hopeless it seems. And when you've lost hope, ask yourself, in 10 years from now, you're gonna wish you gave it just one more shot because the best things in life, they don't come free." --Meredith Grey

You can't quit now. Follow your passion and don't let your work overwhelm you.

14. "We spend our whole lives worrying about the future, planning for the future, trying to predict the future. As if figuring it out will somehow cushion the blow. But the future is always changing." --Meredith Grey

What you're planning and working for today may not be what you're planning and working for tomorrow. Just remember to try your hardest and do your best and you'll make it through these next hard weeks. Pass that final, ace that paper! You can do it.

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.
