10 Things The Women of 'Grey's Anatomy' Taught Us

12 seasons later, Grey’s Anatomy is still one of the top shows on television. The extremely dramatic story about Meredith Grey and her fellow surgeons has captured the hearts of thousands of people all over the world. Grey’s Anatomy is known for its surprising deaths (RIP Derek), for the romance and drama, and for their exciting and unique medical cases. But what I think is the reason for Grey’s Anatomy's continuing popularity is the strong female characters.

Throughout the show, there has been a countless amount of self-revelations, inspirational speeches, and motivational quotes by these strong, confident and brave women. These women have dealt with love, heartbreak and loss. Although fictional, these women have taught us many things. Here are some of them….

1. Be unstoppable.

2. Have a little faith

3. All you need is love.


4. Never stop dreaming.


5. It’s okay to fall.


6. Be confident in who you are.


7. Life is hard, get over it.








8. Open yourself up to new opportunities.


9. Love yourself.


10. Always keep fighting.


These women have taught us that we can do anything we set our minds to and that everyone makes mistakes. They have inspired us to always be ourselves and have showed us that it is okay to yell, to cry, and to love. These women have taught us how to be brave. So thank you Shonda for giving us such strong women to look up to.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
