College Explained By Grey's Anatomy

College can really be a struggle sometimes. And there are some struggles that every student can relate to. Who better to describe the struggle than the characters of “Grey’s Anatomy”? Their lives are so full of drama, I’m sure that they can relate.

1. When you get back to college and see your friends again.


You've spent an entire summer apart, now it's time to make up for lost time. (And to catch up on all of the gossip.)

2. When you professor gives you assignments during syllabus week.


Seriously, it's the first week of classes. Can't you give us some time to get used to being back in class?

3. When you find out that your professor is actually really hot.


Most of your professors are probably old and crotchety, so having a good-looking professor is a welcome change. Though, it might make it more difficult to pay attention in class.

4. Your reaction to that one person who has to comment on everything the professor says.

But really, we're just here to learn what we need to know for the next exam. There's really no need to show off.

5. When you realize that you have more than one class with someone.

This is a one-in-a-million chance, count it as a blessing. Now, you have one study partner for two (or more) classes.

6. When your best friend gets their heart broken.

Like they say: you break her heart, and I'll break your face. If you hurt my best friend, you are guaranteed a spot on my hit list.

7. When you have no idea what the professor is talking about.

It seems like any time you miss class, it's the day the most important lessons are being taught. Or maybe you just started daydreaming in the last class. Either way, you're lost, and catching up is not going to be easy.

8. How you feel by the time midterms come around.

Has it really been eight weeks already? Where did the time go? Why didn't you pay more attention, or study more? How do you manage do this to yourself every semester?

9. When you finally get to go out and have some fun.

You've been working hard, you've deserved it! Okay... maybe you're just proud you managed to get out of bed today. Either way, you've earned a night out.

10. How you feel after you take an exam that you were totally unprepared for.


Walking out of an exam you know you didn't well on sucks. You've failed yourself and brought dishonor to your family name. You're pretty sure that you're never going to graduate now. Go ahead, you're allowed a good cry session.

11. When finals are finally here and you're trying not to have a mental breakdown.


Finals week was specifically designed to make college students miserable. You've only had four hours of sleep in the past week and you're pretty sure all of your blood has been replaced with Red Bull and coffee.

12. Trying explain your grades to your parents.

Look, mom and dad, I really did try my best. But even Derek Sheppard made mistakes, and he was a brain surgeon. I think I'm allowed a slip-up or two.

13. When you find out you actually passed the class you thought you were going to fail.


You don't know how you managed to pass, but you did it. Probably best not to ask questions and just accept your good fortune.

14. Then you realize you have to do it all again next semester.

Why do you keep putting yourself through this torture? Oh right, the degree... Finding a rich spouse is starting to sound very tempting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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?
