Finals Week As Told By 'Scrubs'

I'm no Superman...

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
