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

Because I’m procrastinating finals, and because I love this show so much, I decided to re-watch the first episode of the series and got some *serious* Grey’s Anatomy nostalgia. So, I decided to write down any possible thought that came while watching the episode. So, here we go. Season 1, Episode 1: “A Hard Day’s Night”

Thoughts While Re-Watching The Pilot Episode of Grey’s Anatomy

  6. This show always has the best soundtrack
  7. WEBBER’S WELCOMING SPEECH
  8. “The seven years you spend here as a surgical resident will be the best and worst years of your life.”
  9. “8 of you will switch to an easier specialty, 5 of you will crack under the pressure, 2 of you will be asked to leave. This is your starting line. This is your arena. How well you play, that’s up to you.”
  10. THEY’RE ALL SO YOUNG
