10 Reasons Why Netflix Is Like A Boyfriend, But Better

http://s3.amazonaws.com/wpnimages/wp-content/uploads/i-heart-netflix.png

1. Netflix is always available

Wherever you are, and whenever you may need it, Netflix will make time for you. Even on a short notice, Netflix is always readily available on your phone, computer, and TV. This means that you can either take it with you on-the-go or appreciate it from the comfort of your own bed.

2. Netflix knows you better than you know yourself

Netflix always knows best. When you are bored or uncertain of what to do with your life, Netflix provides you with a list of shows that are tailored to your own likes and habits. Like a gift that just keeps on giving, Netflix never fails to recommend new shows and movies for your viewing pleasure.

3. Netflix doesn’t care what you look like

Unlike a real boyfriend, Netflix doesn't ever care what you look like. It accepts you as you are, even on the weekends where you wear the same groutfit for 48 hours straight.

4. Netflix supports your junk food habits

Netflix will never make you feel insecure about your dietary habits, so forget about that salad and tear open a bag of chips (or 5 bags...). Also, it is no secret that real boyfriends eat A LOT, but when it is just you and Netflix, you will never have to share your precious junk food with anyone.

5. Netflix likes it when you are clingy

Unlike actual boys, Netflix will never ask you for space. Netflix likes it when you are clingy, for its sole purpose in life is to keep you feeling occupied and satisfied. What a keeper...

6. Netflix is forgiving

Unlike a real boyfriend, Netflix will not get mad if you ignore it for a while. It understands that you have a very busy life, and will always welcome you back with open-arms after being on a break.

7. Netflix doesn't force you to go out and be social

Having a boyfriend can sometime be demanding, but Netflix is not. Netflix will never force you to go to a party or spend time with its friends. It respects your need for alone time, and will continue to play new episodes until you are ready to enter back into the real world.

8. Netflix never forgets to check in on you

“Are you sure that you are still watching?”

9. Netflix is never boring

Some relationships can get boring, but Netflix knows how to keep you hooked. It remembers to “mix things up” from time to time, with the addition of new seasons, shows, and movies. So spontaneous!

10. Netflix won’t leave you

Boyfriends come and go, but Netflix is here to stay. It will never leave you when times get hard, and will always stand by your side if a real boy breaks your heart. Overall, Netflix is a reliable, lifelong companion.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.

In n Out all day, every day

We have outdoor concerts

We live where people vacation

Because let's be honest, we all use lyrics.

1. “Don’t get too close, it’s dark inside. It's where my demons hide.”

2. “Tonight, we are young.”

3. “Cuz I may be bad, but I’m perfectly good at it.”

4. “Tell me how they got that pretty little face on that pretty little frame.”

5. “I can’t wait to fall in love with you, you can’t wait to fall in love with me.”

6. “Sweatpants, hair tied, chillin with no makeup on.”

7. “Why you so obsessed with me?”

8. “We ain’t ever getting older.”

9. “I didn’t know that I was starving until I tasted you.”

10. “Didn’t they tell you I’m a savage?"

11. “I’m gonna make you miss me.”

12. "Cheers to the freakin weekend.”

13. “Love’s a game. Wanna play?”

14. “You don’t know about me, but I bet you want to.”

15. “Let’s set each other’s lonely nights, Be each other’s paradise.”

16. “Trippin’ on skies, sippin’ waterfalls."

17. “Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days.”

18. “But you will remember me for centuries.”

19. “Something about you makes me feel like a dangerous woman."

20. “Don’t act like it’s a bad thing to fall in love with me.”

21. “Darling, I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream.”

22. “Find me where the wild things are.”

23. “I’m high on lovin’ you.”

24. “If you’re gonna be somebody’s heartbreak, somebody’s mistake, if you’re gonna be somebody’s first time, somebody’s last time, be mine.”

25. “Don’t be afraid to take the road less traveled on.”

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

1. "Talk about a dream Try to make it real You wake up in the night With a fear so real Spend your life waiting For a moment that just don't come Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)

2. "It's a town full of losers/ I'm pulling out of here to win" (Thunder Road)

3. "You've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above" (Tunnel of Love)

4. "I got something in my heart/ I been waitin' to give/ I got a life I wanna start/ One I been waitin' to live" (Leah)

5. “God have mercy on the man/ Who doubts what he’s sure of” (Brilliant Disguise)

7. “Is a dream a lie when it don’t come true, or is it something worse?” (The River)

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Try to make it real
You wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
For a moment that just don't come
Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)
