22 Times "Grey's Anatomy" Broke Our Hearts

" Grey's Anatomy" has been on the air for almost 11 years. There are those that have been fans since the very beginning, and there are those who recently found this hospital show on Netflix and thought it'd be a good idea to binge watch it. No matter how long you've been a fan, we all have a running list of grievances addressed to Shonda Rhimes. Homegirl knows how to make our emotions run wild.


1. This woman showed up and introduced herself as Addison Shepherd.

Derek and Meredith were doing just fine. They were finally going to be together. I guess it was good while it lasted... for nine episodes!


2. Derek picked Addison over Meredith.

Really, Derek? Meredith just poured her heart out to you in a scrub room and you have the nerve to tell her you can't pick her? Really, Derek?!


3. A bomb almost blew Meredith up.

First, that bomb was inside a man's body. Then, Meredith sticks her hand inside that man's body. Then, the bomb squad comes in and saves the day. Or so we thought.


4. Denny died.

Izzie couldn't get off the floor and we just wanted to get on the floor next to her and sulk with her.


5. Meredith nearly drowned.

You could have saved yourself, Meredith! There was so much worth living for!


6. Burke left Cristina at the altar.

She said she felt free, but seconds later, she just wanted to be free of the wedding dress she squeezed into only to be left by the heartless heart doctor and we just wanted to squeeze her into a hug.


7. We all thought Izzie died.

But you just survived a brain surgery against all odds!


8. George was there to escort Izzie to her death.


Oh, look, there's George. How sweet. Oh, wait... Wait... What?! GEORGE IS DEAD?! HE CAN'T BE DEAD!


9. Gary Clark went on a shooting rampage.

He had the nerve to shoot McDreamy, then Meredith decided to sacrifice herself, and we all couldn't let go of the pillow wet with tears we were clutching against our chests.


10. Arizona broke up with Callie.

So giving up was the best option you could think of, Arizona?!


11. Callie was thrown through a windshield.

We were so upset. Then, all of the doctors decided to sing songs about it. And we became even more upset.


12. Zola was taken away from Derek and Meredith.

They were just going through a little spat. They would be great parents! C'mon, give them a chance.


13. Henry died.

Hunt decided it would be a good idea to wait HOURS until he told Teddy and we all hated him as much as she did.


14. Hunt cheated on Cristina.

We all wondered how we could hate Hunt so much, but applauded Cristina when she threw that bowl of cereal right in his dumb face.


15. Their plane crashed.

At this point, we just feel bad for everything that happens to these people.


16. And Lexie died.

You and Meredith were finally starting to love each other! And you and Mark were supposed to finally be together forever!


17. Then Mark died.

Too much. Too much is happening at once.


18. Cristina left forever.

How are we supposed to carry on without the Twisted Sisters?!


19. April and Jackson's baby died hours after he was born.

But April is a good person! And Jackson was being a jerk-face to her! She deserved to have a baby!


20. Jackson told April he wants a divorce.

How can someone so beautiful be so cruel?


21. DEREK DIED.

And we all questioned how we could go on in a world without Derek Shepherd. How could you do it, Shonda? HOW COULD YOU KILL MCDREAMY?!


22. Meredith supposedly gets brutally attacked.

The midseason premiere for season 12 hasn't even aired yet and we're already anxious to see Meredith put through yet another scarring experience.


Let's be honest, though. No matter how often Shonda Rhimes puts us through plot lines that make us feel fear, depression, or anxiety, no matter how many beloved characters are killed off or forced to leave, we still tune in to each episode every week. With the drama coming back to Thursday nights this week, let's grab a brand new tissue box and our most huggable pillow and hope for the best. Good luck!

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
