11 Things We Can All Learn From Christina Yang

When I started watching ABC's "Grey's Anatomy," I immediately loved Christina Yang—her confidence, her intelligence, her sarcasm. I thought she was the coolest one on the show! As I continued watching each season, she became an inspiration in my life, showing me how to believe in myself, be a good friend and succeed in life. Here are just a few of the things Dr. Yang taught us during her time on Grey's.

1. Keep things real.

Friends tell friends what they need to hear, not what they want to hear.

2. Motivate others.

When someone is down, bring them back up. Remind them why they do what they do and encourage them to succeed.

3. Be confident.

People will believe in you when you believe in yourself.

4. Be bigger than the sexists.

You are more than your looks. Make sure people give you credit for all of you!

5. Be loyal to your friends.

Your person will get you through everything if you are just loyal to them.

6. Keep your priorities straight.

Food always comes first.

7. Don't worry about what other people think of you.

Who cares what other people think? Be yourself and answer to no one.

8. Have a sense of humor.

You can laugh your way through any difficult situation.

9. Strive to be your best.

Because if you aren't your working your hardest, what's the point?

10. Learn from your mistakes.

You will mess up. Just make sure you take that mistake to change what you do next time.

11. Learn how to make an exit.

When in doubt, dance it out!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
