SPOILER ALERT

Arizona Robbins played by Jessica Capshaw was introduced in the fifth season of Grey's Anatomy as an attending surgeon and new chief of pediatric surgery. Capshaw was originally casted to appear in only three episodes as a guest star. After winning the hearts of Grey's fans all over the world in such a short amount of time, Capshaw's contract was extended and she became a series regular in the sixth season. Arizona Robbins was first known as the bubbly and smiley pediatric surgeon with a pink scrub cap who roller-skated around the hospital. Arizona Robbins is also Grey's only openly lesbian character who quickly fell in love with the newly bisexual Callie Torres in season five. She is another one of Shonda Rhimes' strong female characters and I, as well as many others, admire her very much--- here's why.

1. She has been through so much and still remains strong.

Arizona's brother who was in the military died at a very young age.

At the end of season eight, Arizona along with Meredith, Lexie, Mark, Cristina and Derrick were in a fatal plane crash causing Arizona to lose her leg. Arizona and the others had to watch as Lexie and Mark died right in front of them. The loss of Arizona's leg created for many obstacles in her life and relationship with Callie. She also survived a hospital mass shooting while simultaneously saving children's lives.

Nothing can bring her down.

2. She is the protector of the tiny humans.

Arizona was an amazing pediatric surgeon and is now a just as amazing fetal surgeon. At first, doctors around the hospital didn't take peds so seriously because it was stereotyped as the "easiest" specialty. After Arizona was introduced, everyone realized peds is a badass specialty. Arizona eventually inspired Alex Kerev to become just as passionate about peds as she is. Alex Kerev is now an incredible pediatric surgeon because of Arizona and her faith in him.

3. She's a good man in a storm.

Arizona is always there for whoever is in need.

Of course, she isn't perfect and she makes mistakes like everyone else, but in the long run she is a good person and a loyal helping hand.


4. She stands up for what she believes in.

Arizona may seem sweet, but I HIGHLY recommend not messing with her.

5. She positively represents the lesbian community.

It's such a great feeling to know when your community is being positively represented on television. Arizona is so open about her sexuality -- she does not care what anyone thinks of her. Arizona is who she is. I admire this so much about her and I can honestly say her character has helped me as well as many others become proud of who we are. Everyone needs a hero -- Arizona is definitely one of mine.

6. Arizona is incredibly silly.

Being a surgeon is a serious job, but Arizona makes sure to keep a sense of humor through everything. She's one of those people anyone would want to party with, and drunk Robbins is the best.


7. She has a super magic smile.

Arizona's smile could light up a pitch black room -- it's contagious.




8. She possesses the confidence all women should.


Arizona is not the type of woman who needs constant attention -- she knows she's beautiful and intelligent.

9. Her hair is GOALS.

Arizona's hair always looks perfect. Quick shout out to her hairstylist!


10. She's just a flat-out badass.

I think people forget about how many impossible surgeries Arizona has made possible. Who's getting the next Harper Avery? I'm not sure but Arizona Robbins definitely deserves it. She's a badass surgeon and human. I love her

If you ever tell me you don't like Arizona, I will give you one of these looks -- or, all of these looks.

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.
