17 Times We Were All Cristina Yang

Realistic, confident, sassy, and brutally honest.

17 Times We Were All Cristina Yang

If you've never seen "Grey's Anatomy" and been introduced to Cristina Yang, you are missing out. She's basically the most relatable character to exist; she's strong, independent, driven, sarcastic, and loves to dance it out.

Here are a few moments that you, as a college student, and Christina Yang were essentially indistinguishable.

1. When you try to give life advice to your friends, but don't have your life together either, you fail miserably...

2. When your friend is overly self-critical and you just can't deal anymore...

3. When you have morning classes and it's the biggest struggle...

4. When you are around large groups of freshmen and they just won't stop talking SO LOUDLY...

5. When you're at any on-campus event that you don't really want to be at...

6. When midterms and finals come...

7. When you get unnecessarily hit on anytime you're having a night out with your girlfriends...

8. When you ask yourself if people will think you're weird for wearing pajamas to class...

9. When your professor makes a bad joke in class and you don't want to be rude...

10. When you start eating any type of dessert or junk food...

11. When you go through a tough time and you just need a friend's support...

12. When you have that one mid-semester break down about school, life, your future, getting a job, and the like...

13. When your campus crush fails to text you back yet again...

14. When you're feeling self-confident as hell...

15. When someone tries to have an argument with a professor and their facts and opinions are clearly wrong and you become just so fed up with the world...

16. When someone comments on your resting face, especially early in the morning...

17. When you finally find your passion in life and are ready to get this college thing done and conquer the world...

Cristina Yang is the realistic, confident, sassy, and brutally honest part in all of us. Thanks, Cristina for being there and making my bitterness seem slightly OK.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
