you know that Meredith Grey has a lot more going on than what she shows to people. From being a first year intern to fighting over McDreamy and dealing with her best friend, Cristiana Yang, boy troubles she puts on a brave face. After all these situations Meredith always has to make a decision and sometimes they are not always the easiest to make. Like whether she wants to stay with McDreamy even though he never told her he was still married to a woman in New York while trying to have a relationship with her, Meredith Grey. At first Meredith Grey has problems on deciding what to do. She goes back and forth both ways and her friend, Yang, does not always give her the best advice and helps. Sometimes she even makes it harder on Meredith to make a choice. Sometimes, in most conditions, Meredith makes the wrong decision and screws it up. At the very end she finds that she did and always tries to make it back up. But in the end of it all, Meredith has to make a final decision on her own. And it’s the same with everyone else’s lives as well. Life if messy sometimes and some decisions you have to make are hard, but you can either waste your time drawling lines or you can live your life the way it was created for you and cross the lines instead. Some people have weird jujus they stick too no matter what.
It’s like a saying some say, dress well test well. Some just have superstitions that they have to stick too. For instance, in my life during post season of softball, we always wear the exact same uniform. We wore black even though it was ninety degrees outside in June. The example in Grey’s Anatomy is when every time someone dies in surgery Addison Montgomery Shepard gave the surgeons who were involved a cup of hot chocolate and that was her juju, you had to drink it. If you did not accept it like Meredith Grey did once, then your next patient was going to die as well until you drank it all. Meredith Grey had a surgery with Addison and their patient sadly did not make it. Addison always heard two other surgeons were not having such good days and their patients died. Addison went around and got everyone hot chocolate who was involved in those surgeries, meaning she gave one to Meredith Grey. Grey did not accept it because Addison was with Derek and she thought she was maybe trying to poison her or something, she threw it away. Merediths very next patient died because she dissed the juju. So everyone relies on weird and different superstitions because we do not always have an answer for every little thing in life. Life works in mysterious ways some times, so it makes us think that we can not diss on the
juju. When growing up as a child the fist thing your parents try to get you to do is say momma and dada, they try to get you to communicate before anything. For some, even as adults, its hard to communicate with people. They may tense up or maybe even just stand their and freeze because they have no clue what to even say. Sometimes they even know what to say they just do not know how to put it into words. Meredith Grey has that exact problem all the time towards McDreamy, Derek Shepard. She knows what she wants to say to him and she may even rehearse it, but she gets to him and forgets because every time she is around him she just thinks, “When is the next time I get to kiss him?” I mean come on who wouldn’t? He is McDreamy! Even though communication is the first thing we actually learn growing up, it gets harder as we grow up to actually get out what we what to say to someone or ask for something we really need. In life things can change in a split second. One moment you think you have found the man of your dreams and the next moment his wife comes to Seattle and ruins everything. Another moment your trying to save a man’s leg and the next he pushes you off the dock and you drown and true love has to try and bring you back to life. These are all examples of how life is not always perfect and everything can change in a split second. Of how Meredith Grey had to adjust to these dramatic changes quickly while being a resident and having to study for boards. Because some moments can change your entire life in a spilt second forever and before you know it you are doing something else. A great example of this in the television series, Grey’s Anatomy, Meredith Grey finally got the man of her dreams, Derek Shepard, she is talking to him on the phone saying how he is going to see her that evening and the next he gets hit car and dies because the hospital doesn’t take him to get a head CT. Meredith Grey has to learn to adjust for her kids and especially learn how to take care of herself since she just found out that morning or couple days later that she is pregnant. Then finally in season twelve she learns that she does need someone and tries to date, she is now somewhere else. Most people don’t like Grey’s Anatomy and says girls are just too obsessed, but overall it can teach you life lessons that every girl goes through. Every girl feels as if they can connect with Meredith through all her life and boy problems she has in the show. Because it is true, life is messy and confusing at times and even hard, but you have to get through it and make decisions on your own, stay with your weird jujus, and learn to communicate even though it does get harder as we age. Most of all, learn that life is not perfect and can change so quickly on us, so we should cherish every moment with the people we have in it, RIP McDreamy.
