10 Things You Experience When You Watch A New Show

We've all had these feelings.

10 Things You Experience When You Watch A New Show
Everyday Feminism

We've all started a new show that we like and would totally recommend for our friends. Right now, my shows are "Stranger Things" ('80s-style thriller) on Netflix and the old show "Smallville." When we start a new show or re-watch one, so many emotions are involved and it's hard to keep track of them all.

1. Excitement

You turn on the show, ready for it to start, and by the end, you're ready for the next episode. The suspense is killing you because you think, "No, I'm not going to watch the entire first season of this show in one day," and then it's dawn the next morning.

2. Apprehension

Is the show going to be good? Is all of the hype worth it? Your finger is hovering over the enter button, and then you press it with some hesitation. You might have heard from your friends that the show is fantastic, but sometimes your friends are hit or miss.

3. Becoming Invested

The show becomes your life. You live it. You breathe it. You become it. You also binge-watch it on weekends because why not?

4. Anger

Why did this character do this? Why did she have to die? Why did he have to get amnesia and forget the girl he loves? There are so many emotions running through your head right now, but the primary one is anger. How dare the writers for putting this in the show.

5. Heartbreak

Like anger, we have questions. We want answers. We don't want our faves to die, not after they were in the show for so long *cough "Grey's Anatomy" cough.* After one particularly heart-wrenching episode, you could be found curled up in a ball with a tub of ice cream bawling your eyes out.

6. Happiness

They finally figured out who killed him/her! And you knew that it was this one character that looked pretty shady from the beginning. Your best friend was wrong, you were right, and now you get to gloat. Hah.

7. Shock

Did... did that just happen? You weren't ready. Your best friend beside you wasn't ready. Your mom, 50 miles away and watching it on the DVR with you because you didn't get to watch it before, wasn't ready.

8. Defeat

It's over. There's only five minutes left in the episode, absolutely no time for anything new to happen (unless it's "Scandal"). But wait. Who's walking into the building? Your favorite character from season one that you thought had died because they disappeared? It is!

9. Pride

Your favorite season one character has the key to fixing the conflict just in time for the season finale. You're glad that they're back, because that was an open plothole just waiting to be filled and you needed that character back in your life.

10. Satisfaction

You've finished the show. You're good. You can finally rest in peace now that the conflict is solved and the characters are in varying states of happiness. But wait. When's the next season coming out? Next year?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
