An Open Letter To Shonda Rhimes

Seriously, Shonda Rhimes?

Haven't you put all of us through enough misery? We all lived through the shooting, nearly drowning, the plane crash and so many more tragedies that ultimately led up to the death of Derrick Shepherd aka McDreamy. Now you have to go and threaten us with Meredith. I just watched the trailer for season 13, and I'm speechless that this is even a possibility.

After Derrick died, we all felt as though we lost a real-life loved one. Every week we fell deeper in love with him. I swore I was never going to watch another episode of "Grey's Anatomy" without Derrick, but an entire season went by without him and I continued to watch every single week at 7 p.m. on the dot. Honestly, though, Shonda, I'm not sure I can take much more. I don't know if I can deal with the thought of losing Meredith, too. It would all be too much for me to handle. Think about the children, who, by the way, are hardly ever on the show. Like, does Grey-Sloan Memorial have a 24/7 child care program? These are the questions that I long to know the answer to.

"Grey's Anatomy" has been the building block for my relationship "goals." Personally, I could really do without all that back-and-forth Meredith and Derrick had at the beginning of their relationship, but they were so perfect together. Beside the fact that the show is a great example of a real love, because theirs is far from perfect, it also shows us all "best friend goals." I have my last roommate to thank for my addiction to "Grey's." She is the Meredith to my Christina. She is, as you put it, Shonda, "My person." As Christina says about Meredith, "If I murdered someone, she's the person I'd call to help me drag the corpse across the living room floor. She's my person." In fact, this person of mine even had a bracelet made for me that says so, so it is pretty official.

I have never had a show captivate me as much as "Grey's Anatomy" (other than "The Black List"), but that is another story. You can feel every emotion with every character throughout the series. If you binge watch it on Netflix like I and every other female that I know did, you will be so wrapped up in it you may actually think you are certified to perform surgery. It happens to the best of us. One day you're a college student studying journalism and the next, you feel like you could walk into the emergency room and save lives.

Thanks, Shonda.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
