Signs TGIT Controls Your Life

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Adelphi chapter.

Who needs TGIF when you have TGIT: “Thank God It’s Thursday”?! We can all thank Shonda Rhimes for making Thursday nights either our favorite or most emotional night of the week. You get back-to-back episodes of all your favorite female leads: dark and twisty Meredith Grey from Grey’s Anatomy at 8, gladiator Olivia Pope from Scandal at 9 and last but certainly not least bad ass lawyer Annalise Keating from How to Get Away with Murder at 10. You never know what to expect on any given Thursday night.  However, it doesn’t matter what kind of emotional roller coaster ride Shondaland takes us on, you can guarantee that we will always be faithful to TGIT. Here are a few ways to know if you’re addicted to TGIT:

 

1. You plan your Thursday nights according to TGIT. 

 

2. You have popcorn and wine for dinner. 

 

 

 

The wine doesn’t even have to be in a bottle.

 

3. You’re convinced that you’re a real surgeon because you’ve seen all 11 seasons of Grey’s Anatomy. 

 

When someone starts coding you automatically know to “push epi!”

 

4.  You constantly find yourself quoting Meredith Grey

 

5. It’s Handled is your new catch phrase 

 

6. Annalise Keating makes you question your ethics.

 

7. You sobbed for days when Shonda  killed off McDreamy and McSteamy.  

 

I mean seriously?! Look at them! 

 

8. You ship #Coliver

 

Who wouldn’t ship these two?

9. You find yourself constantly asking this question:

 

 

10. You call your best friend your person. 

 

11. When you find yourself stressing, there’s only one solution : DANCE IT OUT!

 

12. You’re just waiting for the day you can use this line

 

13. Your emotional state on Friday rests solely in the hands of Shonda Rhimes. 

 

 

 

 

You can never have too much TGIT in your life! So grab your popcorn and your favorite bottle of red wine then pop a squat on the couch! Until next time collegeiettes!  

 

 

Hey party people!!!I'm Samantha, but my friends call me Sam because there are a million and one Samanthas out there. I am a sophmore studying English with a concentration in Creative Writing and Early Childhood Education at Adelphi Unversity. When you first meet me I am really shy but when I am with my friends I like to think that I am the life of the party. Usually you can find me reading, talking about TGIT, mindlessly scrolling my phone, tumbling (on Tumblr of course!), or pinning on Pinterest. My dream is to travel the world and make memories that will last me a lifetime. I'm always up for a new adventure!  My tumblr says more about me than I ever will : www.stonecold-novelist.tumblr.com Fun fact about me: I never really know what to say for these bio things and I always feel so awkward making them. *insert cute monkey hiding face emoji*
