5 Ways You Know You're Addicted To Netflix

It's not easy admitting the problem.

Hello, my name is (insert name here) and I'm addicted to Netflix.

Here we are, stuck in the middle of shows. Which one to choose? There's so many selections, so little time in the day. It's not easy admitting a problem but there are signs you can use to determine for sure, you have a problem that should be addressed. Being home from college can take a toll on you, especially your laptop battery from using it to watch Netflix all day long.


1. You don't even know what "real T.V' is any more

Netflix is great because there's no commercials or waiting for a week in-between the next new episode. Multiple shows, let alone episodes, are available at the click of a button. It's like a cave of diamonds, endless treasures that have yet to be discovered. It's too easy to get sucked into all of its glory.


2. You're able to finish an entire 5 season show in one day

To give the benefit of the doubt, some of the episodes of shows are only 25 minutes long...


3. You're in denial about how much you actually watch it

I only use it to catch up on a few things...four times a day...for four hours each time...


4. You've run out of snack options for you binge watching

All the popcorn is eaten, the soda is drunk, the chips are just crumbs left over from the last venture into the bag.


5. You're recently watched section is basically another Netflix show collection

There're more options in your recently watched section than all the selections Netflix has to offer you.


So no, there is no problem here. As long as I can maintain my positive attitude and denial, no one will ever realize I may have a problem. A minor problem, not even noticeable. I think. It's just a phase until I get back from summer break, and I get to watch Netflix in a whole new environment with people who share my struggle.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
