Of course, the number one show that every millennial can agree on is, "Grey's Anatomy." In my freshman year of college, all my teammates were obsessed with Grey's and it was the non-stop thing they talked about during practice. I swore I would never get hung up on this show, I personally thought it was stupid. Three months later, and guess who was proven wrong?
My dream is to go into the medical field, and the show made me 10,000x more excited to do so. Not only is this a show about trauma, hospitals, and doctors, it's a show that teaches you things that you'll carry with you for the rest of your life.
In fact, Grey's always had a quote for whatever emotion you were feeling.
1. When you're having a hard time moving on
"Letting go is the easy part. It's the moving on that's so painful. So sometimes we try and fight it, trying to keep things the same. Things can't stay the same, though. At some point, you just have to let go, move on. Because no matter how painful it is, it's the only way we grow."
-Meredith Grey
2. When you're a nerd and damn proud of it
"Oh screw beautiful, I'm brilliant. If you want to appease me, compliment my brain."
-Cristina Yang
3. When you lost the one you love
" 'Cause you never think the last time's going to be the last time - you think there will be more. You think you have forever, but you don't."
- Meredith Grey
4. When you think nothing can ever get better
"Whats broken can be mended, what's hurt can be healed. No matter how dark it gets, the sun's gonna rise again."
-Meredith Grey
5. When you're hard on yourself
"Don't spend all your time wondering what you are, or who you like, or whether it's right for you or wrong for you. Just let yourself be happy."
-Callie Tores
6. When you find someone after your heartbreak
"He took something from me. He took little pieces of me. I lost myself for a long time, and I promised myself I'd never feel that way again."
-Cristina Yang
7. When you make a mistake
"You did a terrible thing, it doesn't mean you're a terrible person."
-Miranda Bailey
8. When things don't go the way you planned
"The expected is just the beginning. The unexpected is what changes our lives."
-Meredith Grey
9. When you try and explain how you feel with the one you love
"Sometimes home isn't four walls, it's two eyes and a heartbeat."
-Cristina Yang
10. When you finally meet someone, that you feel is worth it
"I'm scared as hell to want you, but here I am, wanting you anyways."
-Meredith Grey
I think the reason why we fall in love with Grey's as much as we do, is because it puts our feelings into words that we're unable to do.
