7 Struggles Every Grey's Anatomy Fan Has Faced

7 Struggles Every Grey's Anatomy Fan Has Faced

For the past eleven years, Shonda Rhimes has provided us with possibly the most extreme mood swings in her 293 episodes of the beloved show Grey's Anatomy. The must see drama depicts the lives of surgeons and has thousands of fans across the world. After my three-month binge watch of all 12 seasons, I have discovered a group of situations that all Grey's Anatomy fans find themselves in.

1. When People Tell You That Grey's Anatomy Isn't "that good"

Every once in a while, you will meet one strange person who does not understand true genius when they see it. The best thing to do with people like this is to just smile and move on. I could write another list of reasons why Grey's is the best show, but I'll save that for another day.

2. Looking Up What You Have To Do To Become A Surgeon

After seeing what fun it looks like to basically live in a hospital with lots of attractive surgeons, you've probably done your research. Then after you see how much school and time it actually takes, you become content with living the life of a surgeon vicariously through Meredith Grey.

3. Confusing Your Friends With Your Knowledge Of Surgical Terms

"His BP is dropping! Push one of Epi!"

"She cut his LVAD chord so that he could get the heart. It was really romantic."

-Real things I have actually said to my friends


4. Getting Overly Excited When You Meet Another Fan

Finally! Someone who will understand all of the Grey's terms you throw at them. You can openly discuss couples that you love and the surgeons you hate. You also experience this excitement when one of your friends tells you that they have been watching the show.


5. Falling In Love With A Character And Then Having Them Die

So basically Shonda Rhimes wants to destroy everything you love. By season 10, you know better than to get attached to characters. Somehow, even though all of your favorite characters have died, you still love the show more and more with each episode.


6. Identifying With The Characters On A Spiritual Level

I have often decided that many of the characters from the show could be my spirit animal. Christina Yang happens to be my favorite.


7. Forgetting That You're Watching A Fictional Show

I can't be the only one who treats this show as if it is my real life. I have actually skipped events because I was mourning the loss of my favorite surgeons.


Throughout all the losses and gains, Grey's Anatomy continues to be possibly the most addicting show I have ever watched. Despite all of the struggles that come from loving a show that consistently kills your favorite characters, this show will always be "my show."

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

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.
