19 Reasons Why Dr. John Dorian from Scrubs Should Be Your Inspiration

Dr. John Dorian is a refreshingly unique character. Not just on a medical show, but on American television. He's very sensitive, unintentionally funny, and if you really read between the lines, you realize he's also quite smart.

Which is why when life gets tough, it can't hurt to ask yourself: "What would JD do?"

1) You have to brace yourself for those overwhelming moments. If JD can get through them, you can, too.


2) We all have our wants and needs that we're low-key always seeking out.

3) Try as you may to be cheery, some days are not going to make it easy for you.

4) Like one slap in the face after another.

5) You hit walls and you have to confront them!

6) And sometimes, things won't bend the way you want them to—no matter what.

7) Let's face it—the feels get real.

8) It'll be hard to find people who actually care when you need them.

9) Even though there are a lot of people you have to hold it together for, you just hold it inside.

10) Don't sweat it, you sensitive thing.

11) You have to stay true to yourself, though. Don't let anyone rain on your parade.

12) And if they do, just remember: what goes around, comes around.

13) You keep your head up and let the haters hate.

14) Sure, you've got to work on yourself here and there...

15) But life can be so much more fun if you learn to celebrate even the smallest things.

16) And if you have the guts that JD does, you may find it within yourself to make something good out of the hard times.

17) So don't deny yourself the truth: You're actually kind of good at what you do.

18) Oh, you'll have your moment in the sun.


19) Oh, yes you will. You're worthy of the validation you're looking for if you're anything like JD.


As I watch Scrubs, I can't help but think that if I ever needed to be in a hospital, I would want JD to be my doctor. His sensitivity makes him care for his patients on a transcendent level. As much of a goofball as he seems to be, his drive has made him a well-read doctor and that drive has saved lives—even if only on a TV show.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
