Hi, my name is Obsessed and I'm a Netflix-aholic. Though, in all seriousness, Netflix is streaming every day in my apartment, and while it may only be for an hour a day, Netflix has completely taken over my life. Whether I need a pick-me-up from a bad day by watching a comedic TV show like Baby Daddy or Psych, or I need some top notch romantic comedies in my queue, Netflix always has my back and by goodness, it never lets me down. It's never farther than a click away, and while I know that I am fully dependent on Netflix, I am not ashamed to say that I am indeed, addicted.


1. You have Netflix set up on every mobile device you have.

I have a SmartTV, iPhone, MacBook, and a tablet, and Netflix is logged on and ready to go on every single one of them. Netflix is available at all times wherever I go and I definitely take full advantage of that.


2. Nothing makes you more frustrated than that loading circle.

Nothing is worse than being in the middle of a crucial part and out of nowhere, you get stuck on 99% for several minutes with that circle unwavering. And, if that loading circle catapults you into your Mr. Hyde, you're Netflixing correctly.


3. You rewatch shows in your queue a thousand times, possibly because you've already watched everything else.

I've probably watched Baby Daddy, Arrow, and Psych at least seven times all the way through (and yes, I mean every season). So, if you have those shows that you go to when you've seen everything else, watch countless times, and know almost every word... Honey, you're addicted.


4. You stay up-to-date on when Netflix adds new shows and movies, as well as when they remove them.

Netflix sends me notifications when my shows are updated with new seasons, and I'm always one of those people who research what shows are coming when. But, nothing hurts worse than when that one movie or TV show that's been there forever is removed (yes, I'm looking at you Everybody Loves Raymond).


5. You Netflix more than you sleep.

Don't even think about lying. You know good and well that if you sleep less than you watch Netflix, you may have yourself a slight problem. But, don't worry — I'm in the exact same boat as you, friends. "Binge Netflix and Barely Sleep" is my motto.


All in all, Netflix has consumed my life. And while I may be very much addicted to it, in all of its glory, I know that I am not alone in my hobbit-like consumption. So, here's to us, the Netflix Junkies... May we live long happy lives wrapped in our blanket burritos and the coffee close by!

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
