My Open Letter To Shonda Rhimes

Who hurt you?!

My Open Letter To Shonda Rhimes
Versos Lembrados

Hi Ms. Rhimes,
I've recently decided to jump on the "Grey's Anatomy" bandwagon. Originally I didn't see what the big hype was. To me it was just another show. Then...I watched! I was on Netflix and watched the first episode, then the next one, the next one, the next one. Next thing I know, I'm on season 11 crying my eyes out. I'm messaging my roommates, my sister, my High School "person" (see what I did there?) freaking out over everything that's happened. So, I would just like to ask some questions that I feel many of us would like to ask.

1. Did you have to kill George that way???

Like COME ON! I don't know about anyone else but my heart stopped. When he took Meredith's hand and wrote 007, I screamed "NO" at my T.V. It was in this moment I knew...I messed up. It was in this moment, this unexpected moment, that I knew I was too hooked to stop watching. I've cried during some movies, even over some books but not like this. This was the first death of a character I've seen that it almost felt personal. I had grown so attached to the character that I felt like Ilost someone. I'm glad he died doing what he loved which was saving people. I just felt that it was too much too soon for my little heart.

2. Denny? Enough said.

I started to notice a death theme going on here. I get it, he was sick and dying but...WHY? Why would you have us get so close to this character to then just take him away!! *Sniffle sniffle* Why Shonda?! He just *grabs tissue* wanted to make Izzie happy. WHY CAN'T THEY BE HAPPY TOGETHER!?

3. Seriously? A bomb?

Okay Shonda THAT WASN'T NICE. I was literally on the edge of my bed watching this. It was so unexpected, it was so intense. Again, it was too much for my little faint heart. I'm watching thinking, "Okay. They got the bomb, everything should be fine." No. That's clearly not how this show works. IT EXPLODED! Why? Can there be one episode that doesn't give me a heart attack? Please?

4. Did Burke really have to leave Cristina at the alter?

Don't get me wrong here. I totally understand the politics behind writing Burke off the show. I know that what Isaiah Washington said was completely inappropriate. Wasn't there a different way to do this? Cristina was always determined to be a surgeon and didn't want to put anything before that. Why couldn't it have been her getting cold feet? I don't know, I just feel that would have been an easier episode to watch had it been her to call it off. Hadn't she been through enough? Her pregnancy and losing the baby. Wasn't that enough torture for her? Especially after what you did in Season 10 episode 22. I got chills seeing Burke return.

5. LEXIE GREY?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?

I won't forgive you for this. I hope you know that. Her and Meredith were just getting along. They were starting to become more of a family and then...then...YOU DO THIS?!? Not only that, this is when Mark finally decides to tell "little Grey" he loves her. I...I need a moment. *Grabs more tissues* I just don't see why this was needed. There were a variety of ways to write her off the show, to end the romance between her and Sloan. This was just too far. I'm still not over George and you do this to me? Who hurt you?


6. THEN SLOAN?!

I don't care what anyone says to me. I think a broken heart is what killed him. He even said it when he thought he was dying in the woods. He said that Lexie was waiting for him! Then he dies in the hospital. He wanted to be with Lexie. They were perfect for each other! Why is death always the solution. I agree with Cristina when she called it "Seattle Grace- Mercy Death Hospital." Everyone just seems to die there.

Don't think that this is all I have to say on this subject. There is so much more I want to ask but this article would go on forever. I think what I'm getting at is:


Sincerely,

An emotionally scarred teenager.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
