Meredith Grey Quotes That Every College Student Can Relate To

If you're anything like me, "Grey's Anatomy" has been a monumental part of your life for some time now. Whether you've been following along for the last 12 seasons, or you binge-watched every season known to Netflix last summer after realizing you had an embarrassingly large amount of time on your hands, you understand the importance of the show. For anyone who hasn't yet watched "Grey's Anatomy," first of all, what are you thinking?! Second of all, I need to fill you in on the main character, Meredith Grey, for the rest of this article to make sense. Meredith, who begins as a surgical intern, has big shoes to fill, being the daughter of world-renowned surgeon, Ellis Grey. Over her 12-season-long journey, Meredith certainly makes many mistakes, easily making her the most college-relatable character. The following are a few of the most relatable Meredith Grey quotes!


"We're adults. When did that happen? And how do we make it stop?"

Literally my everyday thoughts. I was under the impression I didn't have to do adult-like things until after college. This is NOT what I thought I signed up for!

"I want romance damn it. I want to feel like a freaking lady!"

Sorry boys... romantic five-minute conversations in the front yard of a house party under the dimly lit street lights just don't cut it.

"You don't have to be tough every minute of every day. It's OK to let down your guard."

OK, now on a serious note... this one is important!

"Nothing is turning out the way I thought it would... it's like I don't even recognize my own life"

We go to college expecting to be in the perfect major, get into all the perfect classes, land the perfect job, and be a stellar graduate in no more than four years time. Not to mention save up enough money to pay off those student loans, attend an impressive amount of social events, and have the rest of your life figured out. HA HA HA..... NO.

"More tequila. More love. More anything. More is better."

Sometimes its just one of those days... or weeks.... or quarters. Hell, college is hard. Have fun and be selfish every once in a while.

"That's where love exists, in delusional fantasies"

And by delusional fantasies she is referring to all those unrealistic Nicholas Sparks movies that hit the theater so often you have to question how Nicholas Sparks even has enough time to write all of these stories. Let's face it, those kinds of things just don't happen in college.

"I don't have a story. I'm just a girl in a bar."

Shonda Rhimes so eloquently admitting that one-night-stands happen after college too. Very sly Shonda, very sly.

"I'm sorry. I get mean when I'm tired."

Which is often these days. They weren't lying when they said between good grades, a social life, and sleep, you can only pick two. Unless you're one of those magicians that can actually manage all three in which case I direct you to the next quote...

"I hate people."

Stop figuring out how to college better than me. It's making me look bad.

"See this what you're doing? Being dreamy? It doesn't help. It hurts me. It messes with my head."

I refer back to 'delusional fantasies.'

And finally...

"Just put one foot in front of the other. Just get through the day."

Honestly, just yes.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
