In This Article:

"Grey's Anatomy" has been going on for many seasons now and as each season progresses, the more viewers the show gets. This show has so many ups and downs and is truly a roller coaster of its own kind! With it's many plot twists and character development, you're 100% sure to cry, laugh, and binge, rain or shine! Throughout all 15 seasons (and continuing) there have been so many life lessons that viewers learn and will always teach big lessons.

1. With the right people, friendship is forever

Giphy

There's no better people to show the meaning of real friendship other than Cristina and Meredith. They're there for each other no matter what and are each other's back bone. They support each other and tell each other when one of them is making a mistake. They're not afraid to be who they are in front of each other.

2. Sometimes you have to let go to move forward

Owen and Amelia are an on and off relationship in the show. After Amelia's surgery, the couple makes a decision to let go of each other and separate to move forward. But even after all of this, they find their way to each other.

3. Speak up for yourself

Giphy

In this show, Jo faces a very sensitive issue and is eaten up by fear. But she finally knows to speak up for herself. Not only is she able to do that but she's able to help others who unfortunately face the same situation.

4. YOLO

Giphy

In my opinion, the biggest life lesson that this show taught me is that you truly do only live once. You have one chance to do everything you want to do in your lifetime and surround yourself with the people who make you the happiest.

5. Never be afraid to take a chance

Giphy

You should never be afraid to take a chance because you don't know what's going to happen. It could be the best decision you make or something you learn a lesson from. But either way, you never want to miss the opportunity to take a chance because there's always going to be a positive outcome somehow.

6. Sometimes life is gonna suck

Giphy

There's no nice way to say it. Life sometimes will kick you in the back but you just have to get back up and kick it back.

7. The unexpected is always bound to happen

Giphy

Life will never go planned. The unexpected is bound to happen because that's just how life is sometimes. For example, how Derek and Meredith ended up working in the same hospital as a boss and intern relationship was definitely unexpected for both of them. But, it worked out in the end for them.

8. Love can be found in the people you least expect it from

Giphy

Alex and Meredith hated each other in the beginning. He was a jerk and definitely not liked by a lot of viewers as well. But, as he grew more comfortable with everyone, another side of him came out. He became Meredith's person after Cristina.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

University of Dayton

boy in adult clothes

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

Dedicated to February 14

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.
