Everyone knows a college kid's best friend is Netflix. It's there for you when you have a test to study for, when you wake up after a night of partying or when you want to tell your mom you're just hanging out with "Friends." However, how do you know when your Netflix binge has gone on for too long? There's a few key signs of a serious case of too much Netflix:
1. You start making excuses for why you can't meet up with your friends.
When your friends ask you if you want to meet up to play frisbee or go to the dining hall, you suddenly have an emergency you have to attend to. Little do they know, the emergency is in season two, episode five of "Grey's Anatomy."
2. Your dinners suddenly grow less and less in nutrition values.
Soon enough, your most nutritious meal is ramen noodles served over a bed of Doritos.
3. Your roommate even stops asking if you went to class.
The answer is going to be, "No, but I thought about it," every time.
4. Your exercise for the day now consists of hitting "next episode."
Next thing you know, your finger's biceps have biceps, and you're suddenly a pro at thumb wrestling.
5. The Domino’s delivery guy knows your name and your usual order.
If this goes on for too long, next thing you know there's going to be a knock on your door at 10 p.m. on Friday from a guy holding a medium pepperoni with a side of cheesy bread saying, "Same time next week, Megan?"
6. You've left a butt imprint on your seat.
After 12 hours straight of watching "How I Met Your Mother," and the other 12 hours spent trying to get up, you've made your own imprint on the Netflix walk of fame.
7. When you're not watching Netflix, you're taking BuzzFeed quizzes.
Your new form of studying includes watching TV series so you can ace the new BuzzFeed quizzes on them.
8. You find yourself quoting your favorite shows.
While everyone is packing all of their stuff from their dorms, you will be yelling "Pivot!" from your window.
9. The only time you text your siblings now is to tell them to get off Netflix so you can continue watching your show.
10. The cheese dust won’t come off your fingers from all the cheese doodles you’ve eaten.
You resolve to tell your friends that you just got a bad spray tan, not that you finished all four seasons of "Arrested Development" in one week.
However, is there even such a thing as too much Netflix? As a college student, it is your duty to procrastinate studying by watching ridiculous TV shows. What else are you going to do in your free time? Do homework? Exercise? No, you are going to sit back down because Momma didn't raise no quitter, and you have a Netflix binge to finish!
