The pilot episode:

Who are all these people? Where are we? How long is this theme song?????

Trying to make it through the first few episodes:

Some shows take a few episodes to take off, or like in "The Office"'s case, the entire first season. It can be so hard to watch characters you don't yet know and love stumble around their plot lines for the first time. But you're binge-watching; you know the risks, you have to power through.

You've memorized the theme song and now have a mini jam session at the beginning of each episode:

Whether it's bobbing your head to "The Office"'s theme, belting the "Gilmore Girls" ballad or reminding yourself that nobody knows where they might end up, you're nailing that intro sequence.

When you experience your first character death:

R.I.P. George O'Malley and Denny and McDreamy. Damn you Shonda!

Trying to convince yourself you can watch another episode and wake up in five hours for class:

Study chem or watch "One Tree Hill"? We both know the answer.

When you watch a stressful season finale and the next season isn't on Netflix yet:

Sketchy TV websites, here I come! Which one is the actual download button???

When Netflix asks if you're still watching:

Yeah, I have been watching this for five hours straight, so what?

You're now completely wrapped up in your show and all its drama:

There's something impressive about watching two seasons of a show in one week.

You now talk about your show constantly to anyone who will listen and your friend just told you she hasn't seen it:

It's almost 2016. Who hasn't watched "Grey's Anatomy"?

You check what season you're on and there are only one or two left:

But you only started this show last week!

Five minutes into Netflix & Chill:

You just wanted to watch your show...

You and your friends bond over the show:

Who actually liked Jenny on "Gossip Girl"? No one, that's who.

You started the final season:

This is when you start desperately hoping for a revival season like "Arrested Development" or "Gilmore Girls"' upcoming one.

When you finish the series finale:

What will you do instead of studying now???

The S:1E:1 button pops up and you can start all over again:

It may be even better the second (or fourth) time around.

P.S. I may or may not have binge-watched every show these GIFs are from.
