5 Things All 'Grey's Anatomy' Fans Know

It's more than just a TV show.

I can't imagine a life where I don't watch Grey's Anatomy.

Spoiler alert below.

1. Shonda hates us

If you love Greys as much as I do, you know that Shonda Rhimes doesn't want us to be happy. She continues to kill off our favorite characters, break up our favorite couples, and more recently throw Alex in jail. Yet for some reason, we never stop watching. Sure, she keeps it interesting, but I would love to see at least one of the characters have a "happily ever after", or at least bring Christina back for an episode. That would be nice too.

2. If you haven't considered becoming a surgeon, you're lying.

There's something about watching the doctors in action that has made me consider med school more than once. I know for a fact that being a surgeon is nothing like what I see on Grey's, and being an intern probably isn't all that fun, but a girl can dream, right? The handsome doctors, the close-knit friendships, plus I've always wanted to say "It's a beautiful day to save lives" and actually mean it. I don't think I could do it, though. I'd have no idea what I was doing.

3. Tears are inevitable

I've cried more times watching Grey's Anatomy than I would like to admit. If you're not crying because something good happened for once, you're sobbing because once again someone's dead. You think that you'd get used to it after 12 seasons. Nope...

4. We all want a 'person.'

If you haven't called your significant other or best friend your "person", are you really a fan? One of the best relationships in Grey's Anatomy history is Christina and Meredith. Without a doubt. Whether it's because they taught you to always "dance it out" or because they always have each other's back. They are the epitome of best friends.

5. Believing we can actually give medical advice

This is definitely something I suffer from. I have somehow convinced myself that I can diagnose not only myself but other people, and on top of that, I think I can actually give them medical advice. Those of you who don't watch Grey's just don't understand.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

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.
