Obviously, a show isn’t going to influence you to enter the medical field, but it may be able to assist you in making up your mind. Whether you’re going to be a doctor, a nurse or a researcher, I think familiarizing yourself with some medical slang through TV is a must.

Although you may find yourself overly attached to a fictional character and crying during their fictional death, these shows are some of the best to watch if you’re considering medicine or already in medicine.

1. "Grey's Anatomy"

Duh. No, but really. I used to be that person who refused to jump on the bandwagon and watch greys anatomy. I thought that it wasn’t worth the hype and it was overrated.

It might still be overrated, but it is SO INTERESTING. I seriously learn so much from this show. I suggest watching a season or two (or all of them) especially if you’re currently taking an Anatomy class.

The connections you make between their medical talk and you’re are unreal. Even if you keep it a secret and don’t want to admit it, watch the show. You might hate yourself for getting so attached, but it’s worth it.

2. "Private Practice"

A spin-off of Grey’s. To be honest, I didn’t want to watch this show at first, because I really disliked Addison Shepard in Grey’s Anatomy, but I LOVE her on this show. Before I finished this show, I used to watch it be put into a good mood. AND I learned a lot too.

3. "Nurse Jackie"

Basically, this show represents what you shouldn’t do as a nurse. I really enjoyed this show. It’s based on a nurse struggling with addiction and divorce. My eyes were opened to what can happen in the medical field and how to prevent it. It’s kind of like a tragic comedy with a lot of dry humor but takes place in a hospital nevertheless.

4. "The Good Doctor"

I just started watching this show, but wow. I am shocked at the facts that are thrown around on this show. Shaun Murphy is an autistic resident who is INCREDIBLY smart. This show brings me loads of joy and makes me so much more excited to enter the medical field.

5. "Emily Owens, M.D."

Okay. This show doesn’t exactly teach you a lot about medicine, but it does seem realistic in the “life” category. Emily Owens is struggling to leave high school and med school drama behind as she lands an internship. She faces her enemies as well as her competition, which is all so realistic in such a competitive field.

Like I said, you’ll definitely be a little emotional in a lot of these shows, but you’re able to experience all of the emotions through all of the deaths, surgeries, and miracles. These Netflix shows are some seriously good examples of what a taste in the medical field is like.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
