Important Life Lessons Found In 'Grey's Anatomy'
Wired

" Grey's Anatomy" is a favorite of many because of its drama filled OR rooms and relationships, but what not many realize, is that through the drama there are some life lessons. We get to be an outsider on the lives of hospital interns and the other staff members, and with many twists and turns, we never really know what we're going to get. With everything that goes on in these characters lives, there's a lot to learn.

No matter what our background is, we can do whatever we set our mind to.

Izzie Stevens was raised in a trailor park, and was told that she would work at a diner for a living, however, she set out to follow her dreams. Through medical school, Izzie worked as a model to make sure that she didn't have any debt by the time she was done. Although other interns found out about her modeling and made fun of her for it, she was proud that she was debt free and breaking away from what her past living situation said about her.


Never let mistakes stop you

In the show, many mistakes happened. From patients dying to relationships turning sour, many of the interns have faced situations that tear them down. They learn from the mistakes they made and move on with confidence that they can and will do better next time. Through the trials and consequences, they know that they will wind up exactly where they belong.


Everything can change at any moment

Be thankful for what you have, in this very moment. Things can be drastically different 5 seconds from now, and although scary, its life and we need to always keep that in mind. Live life to the fullest now, so that when things change, you don't have any regrets.


Tell those you love, ''I love you"

Everyone dies, and no one can be certain when they will see their loved ones next, or if they will. There is a bug uncertainty in life, and in this show. It seems like in nearly every episode we see someone die and the hardship it displays on their loved ones. We are reminded that we always have to remember to tell our friends and family that we love them, because you never know when it will be the last "I love you".


Friendship is important

There are many situations in life that just can't be done alone. Everyone faces difficulties that are too much to bear, making a strong support system much needed. What I love about the characters in the show is that they display friendship. They show that in times of need, we should try and support each other no matter what it takes. Be like Christina and Meredith, have a person (or two, or three, or a thousand).

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
