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.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.
