Life Advice From Cristina Yang

You either want to be her or want her to be your best friend. Let's be honest, Cristina Yang is everything you aspire to be in life. You'd be silly not to take her life lessons to heart. She has the answer to pretty much any problem you could ever have. There are so many important life lessons from Cristina Yang. She's a very complex individual, but she is completely relatable at the same time. Here is some life advice from Cristina Yang that I'm sure will be valuable forever.

1. "Oh, screw beautiful, I’m brilliant. If you want to appease me, compliment my brain. Pretty is not enough. I want to be great."

Strive for brilliance. It's very important to be ambitious, to set high goals for yourself and to never give up. That moment when you find your passion and capabilities, there's nothing that you can't do.

2. "Don't let what he wants eclipse what you need. He's very dreamy, but he's not the sun, you are."

Don't let a guy stop you from achieving greatness or make you feel like you have to be a lesser version of yourself. Sometimes your light shines so bright that it blinds people and that's okay.


3. "Have some fire. Be unstoppable. Be a force of nature. Be better than anyone here, and don't give a damn what anyone thinks. There are no teams here, no buddies. You're on your own. Be on your own."

Being straightforward and honest is the best thing that you can do. What's the point of having a voice and not using it? Stand up for yourself and let your opinions and thoughts be heard. Your voice matters, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Have the drive to be anything you want, succeed in what feeds your soul and be great.


4. "There comes a point where it all becomes too much. When we get too tired to fight anymore. So we give up. That's when the real work begins"

Find hope where there seems to be absolutely none at all. There are times in your life where you feel as though all hope is lost but know that it'll be okay. There's always that shining ray of hope, maybe even a glimmer, but it's there. Try to find the positives in your situation even when you feel as though their aren't any.

5. "Being aware of your crap, and actually overcoming your crap are two very different things."

The first step to getting yourself together is knowing acknowledging the crap that is going on in your life. From there, overcoming is is just a matter of self preservation and a little self motivation. Don't give up - you can do it!

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

Never take less than you deserve. Don't let anyone treat you horribly and let a good opportunity pass you by. Demand more because you deserve it.

7. "Who here feels like they have no idea what they're doing?"

There will be points in your life where you feel completely conflicted and unsure what to do next. It's important to know that this is normal and everything will always work out. You don't always have to have your life together 24/7, nobody does.

8. "If I murdered someone, she's the person I'd call to help me drag the corpse across the living room floor. She's my person"

Everyone needs to have that person whom we can always count on no matter what. Cristina taught us that it's totally okay to need someone. The strongest people still have someone to break down to and talk about their hopes and dreams.

9. "Take a look around. Nothing's normal"

Normalcy is overrated. The greatest people in this world aren't normal so you're not alone. Trust me, Cristina was far from normal and she turned out just fine. Don't beat yourself up about being like everyone else. Dare to be different.

10. "Everything isn't so perfectly right, or perfectly wrong"

Cristina Yang wants to remind you that everything isn't black or white anymore. Life has grey areas and sometimes it's hard to make decisions because of it. Make the best choice that you can and if it doesn't work out you can learn from it.

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.
