The Stages Of Binging On Netflix

Who doesn't love Netflix? Its like an endless amount of entertainment all in one setting. There are various genres of movies and hundreds of seasons of many different shows, from any time period. No matter what the mood or feeling there is something on Netflix to entertain you for hours. I personally love Netflix when I have the time to watch it, but some of us more than others have experienced the vortex Netflix suck us in; starting with one stage and eventually ending when the show/movie is over. If you have ever started a television series on Netflix I am sure you can relate to the stages of binging it.

1. It all starts with browsing the various genres of series

With so many options it can sometimes be hard to pick just one series so it takes some time to browse and find the perfect show for you.

2. After the first couple of minutes you either like it or hate it

Once this decision is made you either keep watching or pick a new show simple as that

3. Then it begins.......The vortex sucks you in

4. You start to obsess over this show

5. You emotionally attach yourself to the characters

6. And you slowly die when a character is taken off

7.You watch episode after episode

8. Day or night it doesn't matter

9. You start staying home to watch Netflix instead of going out with friends

10. Every night you promise yourself you will be in bed at a certain time...and you do but you're still watching Netflix

11. You finish season after season

12. You eventually notice you are on the last episode of the last season of the series

13. It's all over

14. What are you going to do with your life now?

15. You search shows similar to what you were watching

16. You realize nothing will be the same and as good as the series you just finished

17. And then you find something else and the process starts all over again!

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.

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.
