As your local television connoisseur, it is my duty to tell you that the life of a TV addict is stressful. Forget midterms—the real problem is finding the time to watch your shows in between all of that pesky studying. As the years have gone by, I have fallen further into the black hole that is primetime television. There may not be any hope for me left, but you still have a chance to end the cycle before it begins. Without further ado, here are 12 telltale signs that you might be a TV addict.

1. You have a list of every show you watch.

You don’t know true struggle until you forget which day it is and end up channel surfing for the shows that are actually on.

2. You sometimes even have to dedicate at least three hours to getting through all of your shows at night.

If you know I have more than one show on, don’t expect me to leave the couch.

3. Netflix is the holy grail of websites.

Bored? Netflix. Lazy? Netflix. Procrastinating? Netflix. It’s your go-to for literally every scenario.

4. Every night, you have to pick a show to be sacrificed.

When three of your shows all air at the same time, one of them just has to go.

5. Streaming your shows online is second nature.

At this point in the semester, it’s not a true college meal if my roommate and I don’t have our recently missed shows set to full screen on our laptops.

6. Adblock is your favorite internet extension.

…Until you realize that these network websites are getting smarter and don’t allow the show to play unless you remove it. We’ve got to figure out another way around the system.

7. Finale season is the saddest time of your life.

Every season finale that airs is just a reminder that the next three months are going to be filled with empty TV schedules.

8. And premiere season fills you with joy.

The best part of premiere season is the fact that all of your favorite shows come back on the air all at once.

9. ComicCon is your favorite event of the year.

Even though you will probably never attend ComicCon yourself, it’s still fun to watch all of the interviews and pretend that you were actually there.

10. You get way too excited when your friends start watching your shows.

You tell them that you’re watching every episode with them, but in reality you’re just planning on watching their reactions.

11. You’ve even skipped events to watch a show.

If you haven’t come up with an excuse to lie on your couch and veg out in front of the TV, you’re not living.

12. The amount of TV you watch sometimes concerns you.

Honestly, it’s probably not the best idea to watch this much TV. But who’s going to stop me?

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
