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!

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
