WARNING: This may include spoilers 

  • We never know when people are gonna be taken from us
We lose people at the moment we least expect it. George got hit by a bus. Izzie disappeared. Derek died because he didn’t get a head CT when he was first brought to the ER. We have to take advantage of the time we have with everyone in our lives.


  • What's meant to be will always find a way

Mark and Lexie ended up together, as I like to think of it. Meredith and Derek ended up together eventually too. Both relationships may have ended by death, but they still ended up together.

  • Forgiveness
Arizona cheated on Callie, but she was able to move past it to try to reconcile. Owen cheated on Cristina, but they also tried to reconcile. Forgiveness is truly powerful.


  • People are not defined by where they came from
Karev came from a broken family. Izzie grew up in a trailer park. Cristina went to Stanford. Meredith became a surgeon because it was in her genes. They all had stereotypes behind them, but were able to move past them to be themselves.

  • “He is not the sun, you are”
This doesn’t even need an explanation

What's meant for us always comes back for us

Derek came back to Meredith after Addison, then later on he came back from D.C. when he chose Meredith over his new job. All that matters is that they ended up together after each situation.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
