Shonda Rhimes and a #TGIT Drinking Game

Drinking rules to turn your next #TGIT into a #TGIF kind of night

Shonda Rhimes and a #TGIT Drinking Game
Vixen Varsity

Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder all premiered this past Thursday.

That's one full night of Meredith Grey, Olivia Pope and Annalise Keating.

Since 2005, Shonda Rhimes has been creating hope and breaking hearts season after season, show after show, and character after character.

After all the laughing and crying, and more crying, I thought it would be a refreshing start to #TGIT if you all had a little drinking game to go along with all the (watching) crying that goes on every Thursday night.

The rules for each show are as follows:

Grey’s Anatomy

Drink every time….

Someone “dances it out”

The mention of someone being “my person”

Someone hooks up in an on-call room

Meredith gives an epic voice over

Someone takes a tequila shot at Joe’s

Dr. McDreamy (Derek Shepard) is mentioned

Bailey says she’s not getting involved

A patient dies

Dr. Webber teaches a lesson

Finish your drink every time someone cries

Scandal

Drink every time…

Olivia is eating popcorn for dinner and drinking red wine

Scratch that, every time Olivia drinks red wine

Anyone is wearing white

Olivia says “It’s handled.”

Fitz mentions that he’s the “leader of the free world”

There’s a press conference

Mellie and Cyrus make a plan together

Fitz thinks he knows what’s best, but he really doesn’t

Olivia’s father appears

Finish your drink if Olivia and her mom have an epic reunion


How to Get Away with Murder

Drink every time…

Annalise says “how to get away with murder” in the opening scene

Asher breaks out his fratty dance moves

Annalise throws someone under the bus to protect herself and her students

Laurel gets upset with Frank

Connor has sex with someone other than Oliver

Frank is mysteriously absent from a scene

There’s a flashback to Lila’s murder

A previous law case is referenced in the show

Annalise creates a competition for her students

Finish your drink if you think you know what is going to happen next

Instead of crying next #TGIT, let’s all get our drink on in celebration of the beautiful work that Shonda Rhimes has brought into our lives.

This one’s for you Shonda.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
