Hello everyone. My name is Brashana Kiara Trammell. I'm 19 years old. I'm a Psychology major at DePaul University, and I am, a Netflix addict.
I was first introduced to the realm of Netflix when I was about 11 years old. My dad had just gotten a membership and let me watch on his account whenever I wanted to. This my friends, was the beginning of something truly magical. One of the first shows I binge watched on Netflix was "That's So Raven." I watched all four seasons in five days and thus my binging habits began.
I was around 14 when Netflix really started to become popular. With more popularity meant more shows being put on Netflix, which meant more content for me. I've watched just about everything and anything there is to watch on Netflix from shows to movies. It's gotten so bad that I've never answered no to when people ask me, "Do you watch (insert show or movie title)."
So yes, I do love me some Netflix. Netflix is just a pond of greatness and entertainment that I can rely on whenever I need it, and all for the low monthly cost of $10.
Though I love Netflix I can also get somewhat overwhelmed by the content. With there being an abundant amount of stuff to watch it gets difficult when having to pick. I seriously had a mental breakdown last week about whether or not I should start watching "Glow" or "She's Gotta Have It."
Moreover, I almost feel like I'm cheating on a show when I start watching another one. I can't even begin to tell you how gross I felt when I starting binging "Grey's Anatomy" and "Friends" at the same time. I felt like a monster. I was invested in the lives of the doctors and patients of Grey Sloane Memorial Hospital, but I also had to know what was happening to the gang at Central Perk. That was a pretty dark time in my life.
I can also tend to get lost in the world of whatever show or movie I'm watching. It took me a solid five days to convince myself that I wasn't apart of the Corleone family after watching all three of "The Godfather" films. My "Stranger Things" binge was probably the most lost I ever got in a show. I tried moving my car with my mind after watching season two. You and I both wish I was kidding.
Yes, Netflix can be a tad bit much for me, but it is a beautiful thing that I am grateful for. I live for Netflix and can wear my love with grave honor. If you too are a Netflix addict don't fret! There's nothing better than curling up next to your laptop on a Friday night with a glass of Sprite and some pizza. Live and rejoice in your Netflix adoration people! Binge and thrive my friends. Binge and thrive.
