Finals Week As Told By 'Scrubs'

Finals Week As Told By 'Scrubs'
tv tropes

As the air gets warmer, the days get longer, and the semester winds to a close, it can only mean one thing: finals are upon us. While there may not seem to be many similarities between a California hospital and finals week, the cast of "Scrubs" proves otherwise. From a lack of sleep to caffeine to low motivation, here is finals week, as told by "Scrubs."

1. When you have two exams or papers back-to-back

Did someone say stress? Only my inner monologue? Just checking.

2. A nonexistent sense of style

You could not have any less motivation to change out of your sweats and old T-shirt and look like a functioning human being.

3. Never getting enough sleep

You may find yourself wanting to fall asleep anywhere...

4. When a professor schedules an exam for the last day

Staying on campus until the end of the exam period, especially as you watch everyone else jet off to summer, is miserable

5. Excessive amounts of caffeine

That coffee deserves a Todd high five.

6. Unwittingly cutting off all communication with friends

Overwhelmed with work, you start to really miss your friends. And sleeping, and the light of day.

7. Procrastinating in the library

You will procrastinate, you will do something unproductive (like watch Scrubs), and you will regret it the next day.

8. A playlist to get you through the rough patches

Nothing boosts your motivation like a good playlist – and accompanying dance moves.

9. When an exam is not as hard as you thought it would be

Challenge accepted, victory obtained.

10. Fantasizing about your summer once finals are over

So close, and yet so far.

11. Struggling to find motivation for the last exam, paper, or presentation

"I made it this far; how much does the last one really matter?" Never a good mentality to have.

While the end to the finals term may never seem in sight, don't worry - if Ted can make it through, so can you.

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.
