Every college student’s most dreadful two weeks of the year are here- finals week. Finals week can most definitely take the wind out of some of us. I know for me it can be one of the most stressful periods of time for myself. I can get really lost within all the assignments and studying, feeling really tense all the time. But I’ve found that watching tv helps me relax when I take breaks from all the chaos. Here’s some great tv shows to distract yourself with during this time.
1. Modern family
Modern family is a very wholesome family show. If you love cute comedy this is great for you. It focuses on these different families that are all related, and just the silly events that happen every episode between them. This is a great lighthearted show to watch, you don’t even have to fully pay attention to it honestly. Great for background noise.
2. The Secret lives of mormon wives
This is a newer reality tv show that focuses around these groups of Mormon moms on TikTok. This show, as most reality tv shows are, is extremely dramatic. You can count on a fight occurring every episode. This show is what I’ve been currently watching during this time. It definitely shuts my brain off from all the studying as I’m processing their fights.
3. Grey’s Anatomy
Grey’s anatomy is yet another dramatic show to watch. There’s an endless amount of seasons with an even more endless amount of draw dropping moments to help distract you. It’s a great medical drama show that displays numerous medical mysteries, while deep diving into many different relationships throughout the seasons. Just be ready to close your eyes if you don’t like seeing wounds is all I have to say.
4. The office
The Office is another amazing comedy show to watch. It is what it sounds like, about a group of coworkers in an office. But the humor is amazing in that show, and always provided me with a life. It’s another great lighthearted show to watch if you don’t want anything too serious. Sometimes comedies can just be the easiest to watch during these times. Your brain doesn’t have to necessarily think too much. Overall, a great show and the episodes are fairly short.
5. The summer i turned pretty
This show was extremely popular this year, as the last season has now completely been aired. This show is kind of a mix between a drama and comedy a little. It’s definitely more light-hearted in the beginning, but never gets as serious compared to other shows. It’s an easy watch. It’s centered around this girl who is romantically involved with two brothers. It’s about her navigating her life between them and is definitely a very entertaining watch.
Overall, there’s so many shows to choose from. I would say pick something that you think would provide yourself the best distraction/relaxation during this time. These are just some of my favorites that I have found.
