7 Lessons Grey’s Anatomy Taught Us

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

Apart from inspiring way too many of us to be pre-med, Grey’s has taught some valuable lessons.

1. Nicknames are hot. McDreamy, McSteamy, McYummy? Forever team McSteamy. Just look at the steam. No, seriously, look!

2. Scrubs are also hot.

7. Even when everything is messed up, life goes on. Even when you don’t want to.

So many feels. The show goes on! If you don’t want season 12 just because Derek’s gone, you can’t possibly be a true Grey’s fan. 

Joanne is a freshman studying econ in arts&sciences. It's not possible for her to not oversleep, and Saturday morning brunch and BD's is her favorite thing at Washu. Joanne also enjoys playing catan, watching doomsday preppers, and reading menus online.
Rachel is a junior in Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis. When she's not using her status as a twin as her obvious fun fact, she'll probably tell you that she loves photography, concerts, travel, Buzzfeed, and slaving over clever Instagram captions.
