7 Reasons Netflix Will Ruin Your Life

1. You will never want to leave your bed… or chair… or wherever it is that you are situated.

Sure, you haven’t eaten breakfast yet or even changed out of your pajamas, but why would you want to when your whole world’s right here?

Also, that would involve moving.

2. Next episode is playing in fourteen seconds.

“But Netflix, I have to go potty! Oh well, I guess it can wait. I’ll just go ahead and ignore the fact that this is exactly what I said prior to the previous episode starting in fourteen seconds...which, now that I think about it, would explain why my bladder feels like it’s about to explode.”

3. It will waste all of your time.

With one episode playing right after the other, one naturally wants to watch several in a row — as well as conveniently forget that one episode is about half an hour long at the very least. I’ll let that speak for itself, because you know damn well you don’t just watch one.

4. It will destroy your social life.


Admit it, there have been days that you literally did not see anyone because you were in your dorm all day watching back-to-back episodes of "Orange Is The New Black," and when this was pointed out to you, you tried to get defensive but you had no rebuttal.

5. It will make you stay up until ungodly hours.

"Sleep? What's sleep? Irrelevant as long as there are still more episodes of this season to be watched. Anyway, I'll be finished with it in just a little bit." - me at four in the morning

6. It will take your time management skills and flush them down the toilet.

"That homework I had? Yeah, I'll do it later. Class just ended and I need some quality chill time. I know! I'll watch Netflix!" - you, before you find out too late that you just wasted threefourfive hours of your precious homework time to watch your favorite show

7. It will result in starting your homework way later than you should.

Have you ever started your homework at two in the morning in a fatigued daze and fallen asleep at the computer several times while you attempt to bang out an essay at the last minute? Me too.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
