Downton Abbey Ruined My Life

Because the 1900s never looked so tempting.

Downton Abbey Ruined My Life
PBS

It consists of endless nights and procrastinating the important things like homework and a social life You bring it to the bathroom as you bathe or what not, and you forget to pay attention in class because it plays on the screen of your laptop. Many will give up after a few hours, but not the strong as they sit for endless seasons of emotions. Everyone is thinking of their favorite show, but let me point this out that the few will know the emotions I express when I watch the worst: Downton Abby. So pretty much TV ruined my life.

I found a love in Netflix and Amazon Prime at such a young age because ads are not really a thing when you pay the money monthly/yearly. I will get hooked on something and that will be the end of it and my social life. Sleep will cease to exist as I replace it with binge watching hours of episodes even though I have work in the morning and will more than likely burn myself. The thing is, I could not bear to say no to the exhaustion because the emotions I felt were too strong for the sweet feeling of nothingness.

As I sat in my bed for hours on end watching Downton Abby, my emotions ran rampant due to the fact that all I wanted to know was what would happen next. My friends forbid to sit with me any more because I would scream and hit because the dumb Crawleys could not get their life together like I wanted. My heart ached as did theirs, and I felt at peace with them like I was born into the family. Please note that this show made me more emotional than I already am due to the overwhelming realization that I wanted to be in the show. So let me sum up 8 reasons why I hate Downton Abbey and how it ruined every feelings I thought was strong.

1. There Are Not Enough Episodes In Each Season

I will state that six to seven episodes a season is not enough for someone to understand the pain that the people in the early 1900s felt like.


2. There Are Not Enough Seasons

Six seasons is NEVER enough when all the feels are coming and you devote your life to it and not your studies.


3. Why Is Daisy A JERK?!

She made Alfred leave, she did not want to marry William, and she cannot be decisive to save her life. I seriously resented the girl and wish I was in her place because both men were appealing for days.

4. Edith.

Enough said.

5. My LOVE for Sybil As A Role Model

Thank you for being the person that most want to be today. Stepping out of social norms for what your heart desires and happiness that will swarm you for centuries. But I dislike you still for dying on me and letting Tom get with all the gross people after.

6. The Deaths

Matthew, William, Sybil, The Ambassador that slept with Mary, etc.... So many.

7. Mary Is A WITCH

I swear she hates everyone.

8. Let Me Be In There....

Can I be a Crawley?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
