Why I'm Team Alex Karev

Sorry DeLuca, I'm on fratboy's side

Why I'm Team Alex Karev

I've been watching "Greys Anatomy" since the very beginning. That's right I have watched ALL twelve seasons and the two episodes of season thirteen. When I started watching it, I absolutely despised Alex Karev but watching him grow has made me oddly side with him in this Karev vs. DeLuca fight.

If you aren't familiar with what I'm talking about I'll gladly catch you up. Alex proposed to his girlfriend Jo. She said no. He was angry because he has been married and hurt before. She also wouldn't give him a reason. Alex storms out and Jo goes out with her friend and colleague, Stephanie to a bar. Stephanie had to leave but then decided to leave Jo with none other than the intern, Andrew DeLuca. Jo wanted to go home but obviously wasn't fit to drive so DeLuca offered to drive her. When they arrived home, Jo said she was tired and wanted to get into bed. She then tells DeLuca that the reason she can't marry Alex is because she's already married. She ran away from her abusive husband and changed her name. DeLuca at this point looks stunned standing in front of her. In walks an angry Alex and his mind thinks the worst. He then beats DeLuca half to death.

Now I know, what you're thinking. Especially because I said he beat him half to death. Even though I do not condone Alex's actions at that present moment, I don't think he should go to jail or lose his license.

Alex isn't perfect but he always protects the people he cares most about. He did not lash out at DeLuca randomly, he really thought Jo (the girl he loves) was in immediate danger. This may have had to do with the fact that his father used to abuse his mother and himself when he was younger. When Izzie, his ex-wife had cancer he was always by her side. He has also been in pediatrics for the last few seasons and has bonded with all of his patients. When Cristina left, Meredith was in despair. But, Alex was there to fill in for her as her person. He also stood by her side and helped with her children when Meredith's husband Derek died. Do I have to go on??

In conclusion, I hope that Andrew recovers very soon and can get back to work. I don't think Alex would ever do something like this again. Given the chance, Alex would use this as another chance to grow.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
