Syllabus Week As Told By 'Grey's Anatomy'

Why not choose my favorite people to describe a terrible time?

Syllabus Week As Told By 'Grey's Anatomy'

So, this is possibly the worst week of my life in college. Not because I'm going back to class or because I don't want to see anyone because those things are terrible, but it really makes me look at all the things that are to come in the class and it is quite terrible. A way I thought to make this week a little better is to watch "Grey's Anatomy" and who better to explain my feelings than my favorite people.

1. Waking up and walking into your first class like

Knowing that you're just going to be walking from class to class, trying to figure out how to make it through the day; let alone the semester. After coming back from summer it is hard to get back into the "swing" of things. And if that's not hard you know you just don't want to do it.

2. When you see your friend walk through the door and realize you're not in this alone.

It's such a relieving feeling knowing you won't be in a class by yourself for many reasons. You can sit by each other because it's honestly really awkward picking a seat on the first day of class. Both of you can share notes, and the book. I really will never understand why textbooks are so expensive, but there's nothing we can do about it so at least you don't have to face the issue on your own.

2. Or the opposite...when someone you don't like walks in your class.

Why are you here? How did you get here, and when are you leaving?

3. When your professor changes the slide from the syllabus to 'Chapter 1'.

Did everyone hear what I just heard? This went from 0-100 real quick.

4. When the first thing they ask you to do is talk to the person next to you or get in groups

I don't know these people and I don't want to know them. I came here to listen to one person talk, not "get to know" the person sitting next to me, so, can we just get this show on the road.

5. Or even worse, when they ask the whole class to introduce themselves

Suddenly I just became the most disinteresting person and I know nothing about myself. I don't even get why they ask us our names, they're not going to remember anyway so... what's the point?And an interesting fact? WHY? WHY? WHY?

5. Then as the teacher is finishing up and asks if anyone has any questions, and someone does

You're not serious. Please, don't do this. We all just want to leave.

6. But knowing you made it through the whole week

7. It may feel like this or like this...

College is fun; enjoy it while you can because kind of like high school (not really because the people don't suck as bad), but you're going to miss it when you're gone.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
