College is quite exciting, but let's face it: It's the most complicated, stressful, and confusing time of your life. Sure it's awesome, fun, and liberating, but at the end of the day it is the ultimate struggle...but it's a struggle that Dr. Cristina Yang totally gets. Trust me, you'll think she's reading your mind. Here are a few times that Dr. Yang has totally related to our college struggle.
1. When your friend drags you to a club's first meeting.
