Let's Be Real, Hollywood Dramatizes 'Grey's Anatomy' To The Max
ABC

Are you a Grey's Anatomy Fan? I mean, if you are in the medical field or not, this show is addictive. If you haven't seen the show, its time to jump on the binge-watching train. This show has a very good storyline that keeps you guessing.

Granted, it's a show in Hollywood and most of the stuff is non-realistic. If you haven't seen the show I am warning you now--this article can go one of two ways. It can be a spoiler alert, or it will make have the urge to start the series. For example, when Izzy was in Denny's room and she cut the Alvad wire. No one in real life would just get away with that! Especially when she was trying to get the heart and lying about it! Her judgment wasn't clear, because she was in love with him. Her judgments were based on emotional decisions. Even if she was an intern in the show, she is still an unreliable worker. She'd face some serious jail time.

The show is based out of Seattle, Washington. Seattle is a big city, but the hospital setting is unrealistic. The hospital is run by doctors. In real life the doctors don't take care of patients as they do on the show. That's a nurse's job. This is where people get to think doctors are always around. Another thing is how they like to sexualize the show. They like to get you hooked by watching the show to see who will sleep with who. Doctors especially like to get involved with their patients. In real life, we have laws to make it illegal for patients and doctors to date because it is unethical. Also in the hospital, patients have rights with legal allegations to them--if they want extraordinary measures. This is called their code status, but on the show, a patient can be DNR/DNI and they go against it more than once! And disobey their wishes. And bring patients back to life. Another big dramatization is how many non-realistic tragedies can happen in Seattle? The tragedies include sinkholes, earthquakes, and vehicle accidents. Lol.

Don't let Hollywood fool you!

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.
