Life sucks. December is here and you know what that means? No Grey’s Anatomy, oh, and the icing on the cake… it’s FINALS SZN!!! The struggle is real and the temptation to type in Netflix instead of Blackboard is all too legit. I, as a loyal MerDer fan, fell victim to this crime. But with studying having to be a priority, I figured watching 20-second gifs was a little better than 40-minute episodes. For all my fellow Grey’s crazers trapped in cubicles in Gelman, just know that our fave Grey Sloan attendings have gone through the same pain. When in doubt, just ask yourself, what would Meredith Grey do?
1. When you’ve reached hour 12 in the library and just don’t know what to do anymore.
2. And mental breakdowns become an hourly ritual.
3. It’s ok to tell yourself that stress eating is acceptable.
4. But sometimes you just need some tough love from your best friend as motivation.
5. Because it feels like there just isn’t enough time in the day to accomplish it all.
6. And then people try to talk to you and you just don’t have it in you to show emotion.
7. Just remember to tell yourself you are almost done.
8. And when you walk into that 8 AM exam, remember that Mark is cheering you on.
9. Because you’ve got this.
10. And your dance party is only 2 weeks away!
Here’s to finals week and a great holiday season filled with as many Grey’s reruns as hours in the day.
