The Feelings Of Starting 'Grey's Anatomy'

Spoiler Alert: I didn't think it would kill me as much as it has.

The Feelings Of Starting 'Grey's Anatomy'

As per usual, with summer break came time to start binge-watching a show. After seeing post after post about all of this Grey's Anatomy hubbub, I decided to give it a shot. From friend recommendations to just sitting in for an episode or so, I figured why not, once I learn the characters I'm sure I still won't care too much. This was the moment I knew I messed up. Netflix has become a constant in my daily routine and the addiction is bad. A week into watching the series and I just started season three. My heart has been torn out roughly 30 times and I've had to pause the middle of nearly every episode to catch friends up on what I've just seen. Meredith has me in shambles here people!

Everything from dating McDreamy, and then Addison and this new vet, Alex and Izzie and Denny and Izzie, whatever the heck George thinks he's doing until Callie prances along, I mean c'mon people! Where are the writers and why aren't they considering how fragile that last episode made me! Watching more than two episodes at a time anymore is just not highly advised anymore, and if you can avoid the series, that's even better. Unless you're one of those people who finds comfort in cuddling a box of tissues in bed while yelling at fictitious characters. Basically what I'm trying to say here is that my world has come crashing down thanks to 45-minute episodes, and it's completely my fault. Every time I think it is OK to get attached to someone being around, something happens and either I hate them or they're dying.

So thank you for crushing all that I believe to be good, Grey's. You have crushed my hopes, dreams and worst of all, my trust. As soon as I begin trusting a character, they turn into the exact opposite of what I enjoyed them being for so long. But even after all of this, I return for the newest drama. I return to see what happens to those conjoined twins or that baby that Montgomery is saving because just for that little bit everything seems to come together flawlessly. Even though you've stabbed me in the back more than I can count, the immaculate execution of the show is just what I cannot tear myself away from. It's that car crash that you've been stuck in traffic that you slow down to check the scene only this is the inside look of that accident. No one said you had to look, but you're still going to, no matter how brutal the injury.

To those of you who are completely caught up, I applaud you. I'm still on the original cast and I don't know how much longer my heart can take this... I may need to call Burke soon, unless he dies too. I guess I'll just have to see.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
