10 "Grey's Anatomy" Quotes That Remind Us To Never Give Up

I'm sure there's at least a dozen of you out there who have watched "Grey's Anatomy" beginning to end and maybe even over again. If there's ever a time you feel like you've hit rock bottom and just want to give up, here are 10 quotes from "Grey's Anatomy" that I'm sure we can all relate to.

1. "I am a human being. I make mistakes. I am flawed. We all are."

Sometimes it's really hard to except our flaws and we bash ourselves for not being that perfect person who does everything right. It's important for us to start realizing that we are human, we make mistakes and we are flawed, but it's OK.

2. "Sometimes things are simply out of your control. You can't change them. You can't bend them to your will."

Let go and let God. It's easy to blame ourselves for something completely out of our control. We need to learn that things happen for a reason and we have to accept that we can't change the inevitable.


3. "The human life is made of choices. Yes or no. In or out. And then there are the choices that matter. Love or hate. To be a hero or to be a coward. To fight or give in. To live. Or die. Live or die. That's the important choice. And it's not always in our hands."

We need to stop living in fear and live in the moment. We need to live our lives to the fullest and appreciate what we have right in front of us.

4. "Have some fire. Be unstoppable. Be a force of nature."

Chase after your dreams and never give up. Don't let anyone ever tell you that you can't do something -- prove them wrong.

5. "Sometimes it's good to be scared. It means you still have something to lose."

Most of us walk around acting tough when really, we're not OK and we're scared. It's OK not to be OK. It's OK to be scared and hold on.

6. "At some point you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That's how we're made. So, you can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them."

Push yourself beyond your limits. Dare to be different and never let boundaries define you.

7. "All you can do is be brave and get out there. You fought. You loved. You lost. Walk tall."

You may feel like you have given everything you possibly could have, but don't give up. Stand tall and be proud, get back out there and experience new things.

8. "Everyone needs help from time to time. Someone to look out for them. Make sure they're OK."

Many people feel that by asking for help, it ruins their ego or reputation but that's not true. It's OK to ask for help and have someone to lean on in times of need.

9. "Knowing is better than wondering, walking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, the worst, beats the hell out of never trying."

If you never try, you'll never know. The worst that can happen is that you fail and get back up on your feet to try again.

10. "The expected is just what keeps us steady, standing, still. The expected is just the beginning. The unexpected is what changes our lives."

Be prepared for what's to come. You never know when life is going to throw a curve ball at you, so it's important to expect the unexpected and be ready for life-changing events.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

1943

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza
Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.
