A Letter To 'Grey's Anatomy' Fans
WetPaint

I open my eyes as I lay on my back underneath my translucent canopy with my rose gold lights hanging above. I stretch my hands above my head and breath out into the fresh morning seeping through my window. Throwing my covers off my body, I leap out of bed and head to the living room.

*Remote remote remote*, I thought to myself, searching around the room. “AHA!”

I grab the black, button colored remote and let myself trust fall into the couch. Ahhh, yes Grey’s Anatomy. I always thought this show was so overrated. It was all I would hear anybody talk about and here I was, addicted thanks to my sister. Who would’ve known?

I sit and watch the chemistry between Meredith Grey and Derek Shepherd. The love that was fought for and that was just so noticeable to the human eye. Almost tangible to say the most. Yes, I know. That love came out of a cheating, marriage. I know I know. But you want to know the true beauty? The fact that two people in love found each other when people wait forever to find someone they're meant to be with for the rest of their life, yet some of them never do.

My second favorite part about Grey’s Anatomy, is the friendship between Dr. Sloan and Dr. Torres. They sleep together yes, don’t give me the lecture on the “how could you think a ‘friends with benefits’ friendship is amazing?” Well, it’s not that. It’s the fact that although Torres was questioning her sexuality, the one guy in the whole hospital who has the reputation of a man whore douchebag, has this longing to help her through it.

My third and most heart thrilling part of the whole show, is that no matter how many people they may lose to an illness or failing surgery, they still fight to save lives. Yes, I know this is a show, but my point is the fact that there are people like that in this world who do the same. For example, when Grey does research to try and save those who have brain tumors using a virus (I don’t know scientific terms), Grey and Shepherd lose 13 patients during their clinical trial before they finally find a procedure that works. THAT effort and dedication put into finding a solution to save the lives of those who have to live with the desolation of a tumor is life changing. There are many incidences where doctors will turn down a patient who requests a surgery for the removal of a tumor they have, but the fact that there are people like Grey and Shepherd in this world who insist on trying to find a cure are pure angels.

This show may be just a show, but it is a glimpse of the world we live in. The fight to be an equal, the fight to be the person we want to be, the fight to love who we want to love, and the fight to fight for what we believe in. Grey’s Anatomy may be just a show, but it’s a show with a theme: Never stop fighting for what you feel.

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.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

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.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.

If you haven't read the first part of this, I would highly suggest to, specifically because the Public Service Announcement placed in the beginning of that article still applies. If you don't feel like reading part one, I will try to cover it quickly. Basically, long story short, I am a pretty boring person and lead a pretty ordinary life. Due to this, please do not expect for the things I consider ridiculous to be what others may deem it. I promise that each of these I have done with a complete sane, mildly bored, brain. With all of this being said, please enjoy the semi-absurd things I have been lead to do in the second semester of my freshman year at college.

College is supposed to be one of the best times of your life. However, it is also one of the toughest transitions to make. There is so much anticipation and excitement leading up to moving into college. It doesn’t truly hit you until move in day when your parents say their final goodbyes and you see their car drive away. You truly are on your own. I was blessed to meet my best friends within the first week of school. Your college friends are so important and here’s why:
