To the girls I watch a TV show with weekly,

You somehow found a way to turn a miserable weekday, such as Monday, into one of the best days of the week. Every other day has now improved, too, just because of the anticipation and conversations in-between as we approach the upcoming night when the next episode will be played.

Even if it isn't Monday night, I know I always have a reason to text you guys about some part of the episode or some character. There is always a topic of conversation and always a minor way to escape reality whenever we kick back and watch other people's lives from the comfort of our couch.

Whether I am struggling to fight through a long day of work or a long day at school, I remember that those anticipated previews of the next episode will soon be revealed in a matter of days. I think of seeing all of you girls that I call my best friends that this show has bonded me even closer to -- and of course I think of the delicious food we have prepared to stuff in our faces as we watch the drama unravel. I even somehow found a way to look forward to the once dreaded commercials that I find so annoying any other time that I am watching TV. The commercial breaks are now filled with endless conversations and disagreements on the show and are of course, a time to re-fill the empty chip bowl.

This show not only provides me my weekly dose of entertainment and of drama but also provides a way to bring all of us together. We can always count on clearing our busy schedules from our chaotic lives to come together for this occasion. I am still not quite sure what is better, the show or the chance to see all of you guys at once each week.

Even if you sometimes may have a bad judgement on a character or sometimes talk too loud during the commercials, there is no one I would rather squeeze next to every Monday of the week. I wouldn't want a text with some article spoiling the endings for anyone else but you guys, or anyone for that matter, but it's OK. I forgive you.

Thank you for providing the couch or bed we squeeze one too many people onto, and I always promise to provide the snacks. Thank you for providing your predictions for the show and your opinions on the characters and for all the time together at the commercials breaks. I promise I’ll try my best to keep my opinions to myself until there is a commercial break. Here's to many more nights of candy, popcorn, drama and TV series. Until next time.

Sincerely,

Your couch buddy
