Why You'll Never Get Over Derek Shepherd

If I lay here, if I just lay here, will you lie with me and just forget that McDreamy died?

Why You'll Never Get Over Derek Shepherd
Huffington Post

Good news: "Grey's Anatomy" premieres this week. Bad, terrible, horrible news: Derek Shepherd is still dead. This twelfth (seriously?!) season of our favorite show is back, but without it's knight and shining whatever. And even though Shonda Rhimes insists that Meredith will be okay without Derek, we don't think we ever will be. Here's why:

As soon as we saw him, we fell in love.


When we found out he was married, we pretended we hated him (but we could never.)


And even though you wanted him all to yourself, you know he was meant to be with Meredith.


MerDer defined #relationshipgoals before hashtags even existed.


Their unconventional love story made you worship them even more.


And just when you thought Derek couldn't be any more perfect, he became a father.


His relationship with Mark was just as adorable as his relationship with Meredith.


He was, hands down, the best neurosurgeon in the history of ever.


And if AIM profiles were still a thing, most would be filled with Derek Shepherd quotes.


We never felt more joy when he lived through all the tragedies of Seattle Grace Mercy Death.


We thought Shonda would never kill him off! How foolish were we.


So even though the Grim Reaper came to Seattle Grace/Seattle Grace Mercy West/Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital many times...


...Derek's was by far the hardest death we ever witnessed.


And even though the show will never be the same, we'll be watching Meredith's newest journey once the new season begins on Thursday.


It's what Derek would have wanted.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
