Odds are if you have a Netflix account, you love your Netflix account. I have been through an embarrassing and concerning amount of series over the past five years I have been a Netflix enthusiast. I consider it a best friend (which is definitely pretty sad) but I am not ashamed. Over the years I have thought of plenty of reasons why I love Netflix so much.
1. It stays up with you through all hours of the night. Get back from a party late and are sober but not tired? Netflix. Wake up earlier than your alarm and have no idea what to do? Netflix. Experience a dull night where absolutely nothing is going on? Netflix
2. It's always there. Unless it's down for whatever reason and all hell breaks loose. The days Netflix is not working are some of the saddest, most boring days of my life- and I know you agree.
3. It is ALWAYS down for a slumber party and there for your every need. Whether you're sick or going through a break up, but really, who needs a boyfriend when you have Netflix?4. There is a show for every mood.
From a sad One Tree Hill episode when you just need some inspiration or to cry...
To one of the hundreds of hilarious How I Met Your Mother episodes for when you are looking to laugh.
5. You begin to literally feel like you are a character in the show.Sometimes I honestly think me and Brooke Davis are friends. When she's sad, I'm sad. When she hates Lucas, I hate Lucas.
6. When you finish a series, there will always be a different one waiting for you. Trust me, I’ve finished nearly 20 series and each time I fix my post-traumatic-finish-a-netflix-series-disorder by starting a new one.
7. Where better to watch a movie or TV show than in the most comfortable spot you can think of: anywhere? In your house while you eat any meal, in your bed, on your couch, in your dorm; it can be done pretty much anywhere with anybody at anytime. I even watch it as I run on an elliptical at the gym (again, embarrassing I know).
Thank you for being in my life, Netflix. I will always love you.
