College as Told by Grey’s Anatomy

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

We all procrastinate anyway by watching and rewatching 11 seasons of Grey’s on Netflix, shortly followed by frantically searching for the 12th on random, sketchy websites with questionable legality, so why not use it to explain college?

1. When freshmen try to tell you their SAT scores, and how many APs they took in high school

2. When your professor adds extra assignments the week of a midterm

3. When you pull an all-nighter to finish a twenty-page essay on a topic you know nothing about

4. When he doesn’t call you after a beautiful night together at Shooters

5. Any event on campus ever

6. Trying to explain to your parents what makes college so hard

7. Those all too necessary late night dance parties with your best friend

8. When someone tries to pick you up by complimenting your profile pic

9. Thursday morning 8:30s after Wednesday night Shoots

10. And finally, college in a quote

I am a senior at Duke University studying psychology and history, and I have been writing with Her Campus since I was a freshman. Having this incredible community of empowering women to build me up when I need support and to give me an outlet when I need to vent has been one of the greatest aspects of my Duke career! I am so sad to leave them soon, but I am excited to pursue my J.D. at Georgetown in the fall!
