​Thoughts Everyone Has After Watching 'Grey's Anatomy'

Now that "Grey's Anatomy" is on its 12th season and you essentially know every plot line by heart, you feel pretty confident saying you could be a doctor. You don't know why they still have med school and residencies; people should just watch "Grey's." It's basically a crash course on how to be a doctor. They would save time, money, and a whole lot of tears. They have Miranda Bailey to teach them everything, anyway. When she moves, you move. And after binge-watching "Grey's" forever, here are some thoughts everyone has:

I could probably perform an appendectomy right here if someone needs it. I know the symptoms: pain in the lower right side, vomiting, fever, chills. Scrub in and gown up. George taught me what not to do. Don't freeze. Don't screw up. Invert the stump. Make sure BP and O2 levels remain stable.

"It's a beautiful day to save lives." I would totally have a cool saying like that right before I cut into someone's brain, and I would look really cute doing it too. McDreamy has the perfect smile, great hair, and a ferry boat scrub cap. It just makes sense that'd he'd have a perfect saying too. I mean... who wouldn't wanna specialize in neuro? You get to be with Derek all day. Derek, brains, and ferry boats. That's the whole package if you ask me.

I'd easily be able to trach someone in restaurant with only a plastic knife and a pen cap. I've seen it done a million times. I could probably do the same thing with someone's lung too... you know, the whole re-inflating it thing? It's all in the fingers. You just gotta feel it.


It's the first cut that matters. How you cut into someone says how the whole surgery is going to go. So when I'm traching someone, I'll remember to be purposeful and direct. Deep but not too deep.

If I had Richard Webber giving me wise advice all day and Christina to complain to, my life would be so much easier. Motivation and sarcasm are their passions. Besides, I need a person. Everyone should have a person.

Aneurysm? Sign me up. I got Mer and Christina on my shoulders to lead me through this one. Hit the library to read up on a patient's condition? Already did that in the first episode. Just glove me up. It's a beautiful day to save lives. Let's have some fun.

First thing to ask for in surgery: ten blade. Makes total sense. And you gotta stick your hand out without looking at the nurse, like you're just dead-focused on your patient at that point.

I should marry someone I work with. That way, we'll both understand the busy, crazy schedule that doctors have and we can talk about our surgeries together. I don't know what's more romantic than that. Well, Derek created the next Picasso on their bedroom wall, so there's that.

I would look really good in scrubs. I mean, Karev's managed to pull it off for twelve seasons. He also managed to save a baby's life by taking off his shirt, so there's that. Worse comes to worst, just take off your shirt and hold the patient. Sounds like that'll fix everything and stabilize their vitals. Kangaroo hold for the win.

Someone's crashing? Start compressions and push 1 of epi. I've got this. Charge to 300. Clear! Continue compressions and push another of epi. Charge to 360. Clear! I've got sinus rhythm. The next 24 hours are going to be critical. We need to monitor him closely and do hourly checks.

Mom, I'm signing up for med school. I'm thinking Dartmouth or Stanford, maybe Johns Hopkins. We'll have see where I get in, but I'm clearly getting in everywhere. Oh, they need my MCAT scores? I don't think so. That won't be necessary. Just tell them I've seen "Grey's" and I'm ready to make merry-go-round references and dance it out with my person for the rest of my life.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

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

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

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.
