Season 11 of "Grey's Anatomy" messes with all of your emotions. Just when you think things are going right, Shonda Rhimes decides to break our hearts again. McDreamy's death was one unlike any other. You never saw it coming, and you couldn't help but feel for Meredith and the kids. Once again Grey's Anatomy got us in our feelings and here's a few stages of grief we all went through when watching McDreamy's death.

1. Denial.

There is no way McDreamy actually died. Him and Meredith have been through just about everything and they always survive. Always.

2. You are confused beyond measure.

How could this have happened? He was just moving back to Seattle to be with his family. Why would he be dead? It's McDreamy.

3. Despair sets in.

Shonda Rhimes, why would you do this to us? We have been loyal every season.

4. Anger.

There was no warning. There was no indication that he was not going to be on any more seasons. There were no major hints. Where did we go wrong?

5. Sadness.

If there was one character we didn't want to die it would be McDreamy. Who will take the cake for best hair now? Who will have that winning smile?

6. Sadness turns into depression

Do we even keep watching the series? Meredith is alone taking care of three kids. We cried that episode and just about every episode after that.

7. Frustration comes into play.

It's not anger anymore. It is now frustration. We are frustrated that these things keep happening to Meredith and their family and the rest of the cast for that matter. It's like you know something bad is going to happen when the song "How To Save A Life" comes on.

8. The blame game.

You start blaming McDreamy for even leaving in the first place. Oh and that kid who decided to flip his dad's car...you're not on our happy list. McDreamy helped all of you! We can also blame technology for making him reach for his phone.

9. Isolation.

Some people just don't understand the death of your favorite character on a television show. It hits you hard. Unless your friends have also seen it, no one understands what Shonda has put you through.

10. Withdrawal.

We miss McDreamy. We want you back. We need you back. The show will never be the same without you and Meredith and the story behind you two.

11. Acceptance.

If Meredith Grey can tell the doctor who messed up on treating her husband that she is going to be ok, then we are going to be ok. Meredith barely cried after his death. We probably cried enough for her and her whole family. If Meredith Grey can do this, then we can do this.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
