Cristina Yang is an icon to many women... and if she's not, then she should be. She became my favorite character ever on the very first episode with her cockiness and boldness. From that first episode on, I knew I wanted to become her. And honestly, I probably did. I'm just no cardiac surgeon, nor do I plan to be. So here I present to you the 7 times we all related to Christina Yang.

1. When she cried.

This is probably my favorite scene she has ever done. It's hilarious, even though she lost a baby. But the ugly crying is forever the most relatable thing. This strong woman crying in hard times is me. I cry at little things, but once the water gates open they will not close until I'm asleep.

2. When she told Meredith the truth.

"Don’t let what he wants eclipse what you need. He’s very dreamy, but he’s not the sun. You are."

3. When she knew what a good compliment is.

"If you want to appease me, compliment my brain."

4. When she was hungry.

5. When she realized that she was not the best.

"I spent the entire day fighting. I don't want to do it anymore."

6. When she was always honest.

7. When she didn't know how to deal with feelings.

Cristina: You have a feeling?

Meredith: Yes.

Cristina: Okay, what kind of feeling?

Meredith: Like I might die.

Cristina: Today? Tomorrow? In fifty years? Because we're all going to die eventually. But now, we're late. Let's go!
