And I Will Always Love You: An Ode to Derek Shepherd

Last summer I made one of my greatest decisions in life, to start Grey's Anatomy on Netflix. I instantly became obsessed with the one and only McDreamy. Those were the good ole days; we had Izzy, George, Mark, and Lexie or as I like to call them, "The Original Squad." But then Seattle Grave Mercy Death took my favorites away from me. While Keppner, Avery, and the other Shepherd are fine and dandy, they will never be the same. I watched religiously until I finally got caught up to the episodes being played on TV right now, and might I say it was an awful choice.

The worst thing I could have ever imagined happened. First Christina left to take the job in Switzerland. Then, my worst nightmares became a gut wrenching reality: Derek was in a fatal car accident and left us forever. So I have decided to remincise on his greatest moments (and looks).

There was the first time they met, when Derek become more than just the guy from the bar and was Meredith's attending. That is when he began to steal the hearts of us all with his sweet words and dashing good looks.

Then there was the moment that Derek become "that guy" and we found out he was married to Addison and had been lying the whole time.


But it wasn't even his fault; he managed to sweep both girls off their feet with his charm and good looks.

Finally, fate could not keep them apart, and Meredith and Derek ended up together and stole the hearts of us all.

And then they adopted and African child; together like omg does it get any cuter? I could sit and watch Derek and Zola all day.

And then there was his friendship with Mark, although it got off to a bit of a rocky start in the show. Once they got over some issues (aka Addie) their adorable bromance was the best part of that hospital.

And along came Baily, Derek and Meredith's second baby and first son.

So thank you Derek/McDreamy/Dr. Shepherd for 11 seasons of good looks, adorable relationships and many beautiful days to save lives.

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.
