College As Told By Cristina Yang
ABC News

If there's one thing I've learned from watching "Grey's Anatomy," it's that Cristina Yang definitely sums up every type of feeling that college students have in the course of a week. Although she doesn't seem like it, Cristina is one of the most relatable people on the show (and I really hope the rumors are true about her coming back in Season 13). I've learned so much from watching her be a kick-ass, hardcore cardio god, and she will always be my favorite character on "Grey's." So, as promised, here are the moments where I, and every other college student, can relate perfectly to the amazing Cristina Yang:

1. When you have so much homework to do, it's 3 a.m., and your life is falling apart.

2. When you're trying to figure out what to wear before you go out on a Saturday night.

3. When you unexpectedly run into one of your girls at a frat party.

3. Before you think the Freshman 15 can ever get to you.

4. When your huge lecture class of 200 people makes a group chat just to get through the semester.

5. When the people in your hall won't shut up or turn off their music when you're trying to sleep (not to mention the fact that you have an 8AM tomorrow).

6. When you actually feel like you're passing all of your classes for once.

7. When some creep makes a weird joke on the first (and last) date.

8. When you and your roommates just can't handle the stress of school work anymore and really, desperately need a break.

9. When you get invited to a date party or formal (or just anywhere in general).

10. When people complain about the struggles of easy gen-eds and 12 hour weeks while you're over here taking 300 level classes as a freshman with 16 hours of coursework.

11. When you finally, just barely get through the week.

12. When you're forced to spot people hooking up out in the open at a party like nobody can even see them.

13. When you find that most guys are just as immature in college as they were in high school.

14. When you just have a casual mental breakdown from the millions of assignments that all of your teachers just gave you at once.

15. When you and your roomie start finishing each others' sentences and becoming one another.


However, at the end of the day, you know that college is the best experience ever, and you wouldn't trade it for the world. You grow as a person, explore new things, learn about yourself, and finally start the path to your career. You appreciate how lucky you are to live in your new favorite place, whether it's Knoxville (like me) or any other city. You just know that life doesn't get much better than this.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
