You Are My Person. You Will Always Be My Person.

A Letter To My Best Friend. My Sister. My Person.

You Are My Person.  You Will Always Be My Person.
Sabrina Villanueva

Yes, I know. I am a dork, but you love me. There is a confession that I need to make to you. The first time I ever saw Grey’s Anatomy was with you at the house.

It wasn’t the first episode, but it was during the time (SPOILER ALERT) when Cristina Yang, Meredith Grey, Derek Shepherd, Arizona Robbins, Mark Sloane and Lexie Grey hung onto dear life trying to survive in the woods after their plane crashed. Some of them didn’t make it home alive.

As I began to re-watch the show I became obsessed with it. I had never found a T.V. show such as Grey’s Anatomy, so amazing and really eye-opening to life in the messages it sends. I may be a nerd I know, but watching it over and over again as much as I have done ever since has made me look at the show differently each time I watch it. Here are three life lessons that I get from Cristina and Meredith’s friendship.

1. You are my best friend.


We didn’t meet each other until I came into the picture when it came to friendships by association. We’ve had our ups and downs with each other and others. Remember the ASVAB Scandal junior year? Haha. What a stupid moment for the unfortunate. Or the time when someone tried to pin us against each other? Lord, forgive us for giving in a brief moment that there was a possibility of believing someone else besides ourselves. We got that cleared up pretty quick. Let’s also remember the moments of when I actually made time to come out to watch one of your Field Hockey games…. Sadly, the odds were not in your favor that day. Or the moments we had at Military Ball and we danced our heels off. I still have the letters you sent me while I was off at boot camp and then Plebe Summer because I still like to reflect on how I’ve lost a few friends along the way, gained a couple as well, but I still have you still right by my side no matter what. Just as Cristina describes to Owen above, you’re the person I would call to help me drag a corpse across the living room floor. Hopefully, that won’t happen or else I would have to start watching How To Get Away With Murder and create notes, too.

2. You are my sister. You're my family. You're all I've got.

You have opened your heart and your home by welcoming me into the family. You are my sister through everything. You have been with me through my greatest achievements, my greatest upsets, my self-loathing, my constant change and my constant persistence to pursue my career, even if that means being far away.

The hardest part of being so far away is leaving family behind, but I’m so thrilled of the opportunities I am given to be with family, especially when you have blessed me with my nephew, which is the greatest gift of all. It’s crazy that now you have a little family of your own, but you still continue to allow me to a part of it. We will most certainly have to take him on our trip to Greece when he gets older. Look at that handsome little guy.

3. Whatever life gives us, I know we will have each other to lean on even if we’re infinite miles apart. As Cristina Yang would say....

You are my person. You will always be my person. I love you.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
