7 Signs You Have An Addiction To Binge-Watching

Binge-watching: The practice of watching multiple episodes of a television program in rapid succession. It's a disease, a sickness, and an addiction. Something we do that slowly controls our lives. Here are seven signs that you are addicted to bing-watching:


1. You have an account with almost every TV streaming app or website


Whether it be Netflix, Hulu, HBO, Amazon, Sling or more. We name it, you probably have it.


2. You make every excuse just to stay in and watch TV

I'm sorry I can't go out tonight, I have a Netflix and chill date.....by myself


3. You forget to eat

You get so consumed by watching TV that you forget to eat. But when you do, you stuff your face so you can hurry and get back to binge-watching.


4. You skip class

Why go to class when you can binge-watch?


5. You let binge-watching interfere with sleep

What's sleep? I'm not sure, I'm a professional binge-watcher.


6. You never get anything done because you just can't stop watching TV

"I'm sorry, I can't stop watching 'Grey's.'"


7. You feel like the world is ending when you finish watching all of the seasons to your favorite show

So, what do I do now?

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.
