I Actually Really Hated 'Grey’s Anatomy,' Don’t @ Me

It feels like everybody and their mother is obsessed with it.

I Actually Really Hated 'Grey’s Anatomy,' Don’t @ Me
ABC

Ah, “Grey’s Anatomy.” It feels like everybody and their mother is obsessed with it. The show has been on TV since 2005there are some kids in middle school that were born after the show premiered (if that doesn’t make you feel old, I don’t know what will.)

But there are a lot of things wrong with “Grey’s Anatomy.”

I have never worked in the medical field, but I have grown up surrounded by nurses. My mom has been a nurse for her entire career, and most of her friends are nurses. I have spent my life listening to horrifying medical stories at the dinner table.

I’m not claiming to be an expert, but I know enough.

I tried to watch “Grey’s Anatomy” a few months ago and could only get through the first two seasons. There were just so many things that stood out in my mind.

First of all, it’s so medically inaccurate. The way that they handle surgeries, codes and everything in between is just so wrong.

Also, they get way too close to their patients. Like when Izzy gets super weirdly close to Denny? That would never happen in real life.

The biggest issue I have with the show is the relationships they have with each other. Residents and doctors don’t hook up. Nobody hooks up in the break room. (At least, they shouldn’t.)

But literally everybody on that show hooks up with each other and it’s not OK.

“Grey’s Anatomy” paints a horrible picture of the medical profession. It makes them seem like unprofessional, sex-craved fools.

So, a word of advice: Please realize that “Grey’s Anatomy” is extremely unrealistic, and watch it cautiously.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
