There's nothing like lying in bed all day Saturday watching Netflix and feeling your brain turn to mush. It's relaxing, therapeutic and a weekly necessity in college life; so the next time you're about to go on a Gossip Girl, Gotham, Jessica Jones, orSkins bender, remember these tip to make the most out of the time you've got.

1. Have snacks handy.

There is literally nothing worse than having to pause your show to get a snack, or a drink. Keep them on hand and near you so that all it takes for some gummy worse, or some peanut butter is a simple adjustment of the sheets.

2. Plan for it.

While I am a firm advocate for spur of the moment Netflix days, build one into the week so that you don't beat yourself up or feel like a garbage person for eating all the left over halloween candy, or literally not leaving the bed.

3. Turn your phone off.

Or at least on silent. Get away from everyone and just let your brain melt. I know that sounds weird, but sometimes, you just need to be a vegetable.

4. Cancel all plans—or at least move them around.

If you've decided to spend the morning in bed watching Netflix, you and I both know that you're not going to get up at 4 p.m. to go do some random thing with people who aren't as cool as Netflix.

5. For every bathroom break you take, stretch.

Trust me, this one is a life saver. Your butt will thank you later.
