Hi, my name is Nicole Grant. I have an addiction. It takes control of my life. I constantly cave in to enjoying it all the time. When I wake up, as I am falling asleep, while I eat dinner, and when I should be being productive.
I am addicted to Netflix.
1. I have watched Netflix while I took a bubble bath.
In case you want to learn how to do it yourself, what I do is I take a TV tray stand and bring it into the bathroom. Then I set my laptop on top and press play. If there is major glare you can even shut the lights off in the bathroom.
If you want to watch Netflix in the shower I heard you can put your phone in a plastic baggy then clip it to the towel holder. I've never done it, but rumor has it it works.
There's also always the option of investing in a waterproof phone or iPhone case and just letting your device become submerged in water.
2. I have marathoned Netflix in the same spot for more hours straight than I should tell you.
Everybody has those days. You get some snacks, maybe a blanket, and a pillow, and then you stay in bed watching the same show for hours.
I mean, I think I burn calories when I fluff my pillow or lift a chip into my mouth. And I mean, sometimes, I drop the remote and I have to get it, and other times, I need to plug my laptop charger in.
3. I have shows I swear by, and if you don't like them I don't know if we can be friends.
If you don't like "Orange Is the New Black" I don't know if we can be friends. Same with "Criminal Minds." I mean, I don't know how you can expect a friendship without Netflix binge watching... and if you don't like OINTB or "Criminal Minds" what will we even watch?
4. When I say wanna watch Netflix, I mean want to sit down and watch Netflix.
I do not want to participate in any of this "Netflix and chill." I want to actually sit down and watch Netflix. Maybe even chow down on some grub -- no -- definitely chow down, I mean just look at this next reason.
But, what I do not want to do is distract myself from staring at the television, or laptop, because I do not want to miss any of my latest binge watching-worthy show.
5. When there is Netflix, there is food.
Netflix is never complete without large amounts of food. Especially unhealthy food. Usually pizza, or nachos, or candy, or ice cream... oh boy, now I am starting to hungry myself.
But, you know, Netflix in front of me, and pizza in my hand makes a fantastic combination.
6. I probably won't text you back when I am immersed in my show.
I tend to get caught up in my show. Currently my binge watching show is "Scandal," so if I forget to text you back for five hours I was probably too captivated by Fitz, Olvia, and Huck to remember to respond. I know, where are my manners?
