15 Reasons Why I'm Not A TV addict, I'm A Hard-Core TV 'Enthusiast'
Karina Kosmala

I would like to call myself a TV show "enthusiast" rather than TV show 'addict' even though I would admit that I'm capable of watching an entire season a day without falling asleep. Here are the thoughts and sayings what would make you a TV show 'enthusiast' and not just someone who watches a show like Game of Thrones from time to time.

1. "Just one more episode"

We've all been there, lying to ourselves that we'd only watch one more but that leads to...point number 2

2. Stay up 'til the dawn of the next day

Because you said you'd only watch one episode, but end up watching an entire season in one night. I mean, you needed to know whether that character was really killed off or if they were coming back, right?

3. "I finished a season in one night, it wasn't that bad, only 20+ episodes, that were each 45 minutes..."

The thought that runs through your head because it didn't seem like a bad idea the night before until you have to wake up at 7 am for class or work.

4. "Oh I didn't do that because I was too busy watching this TV show"

A valid excuse to us, maybe not a valid excuse as to why I didn't read Chapter 9 of my Business Communication book.

5. "I found this new show, but it's not on Netflix anymore, must...find...it...on...other...websites"

I watched one episode, just so I could see if I like it. Unfortunately, I wanted to watch more, but Netflix took it down, or it was never on Netflix. What did that leave me to do, deal with the pop-up ad websites just so I could watch another episode for free? Was it worth it? Yes.

6. Can't deal with this one episode a week deal when it's on TV

I'd probably start another tv series by then like finally watching the Game of Thrones that everyone is talking about.

7. Last episode ends on a cliffhanger

The never-ending questions of what could happen, and it's worse when it just ends like that, no new episode, no new season, nothing.

8. When you finished a season on Netflix, and you have to wait until next year/month for the next season

Worst part is that you tend to forget what happened in the previous season.

9. Finding someone who loves the show as much as you do

What's better than watching a really good tv series, being able to share your love for that tv series with someone that loves the show as much as you do. Better yet, watching them together.

10. Realizing that someone is a little behind on the show than you are

It's ok, right? Just hold back all the spoilers, even though you really want to tell them all about it. Wait for them to catch-up.

11. Researching the trivia of the TV Show

Did you know? Like, 'did you know that 'Supernatural,' is "as of 2017, the longest-running TV show to never win an Emmy."

12. Researching the trivia of the actors on the show

For example, did you know that "Jensen Ackles was a groomsman in Jared Padalcki's wedding."

13. Quote any line from any scene

Ah yes, I remember that line, and what happened when he said that line.

14. Reruns don't bother you

Actually, it gives fills the time before the next episode/season. Maybe you'll find something you didn't realize before?

15. When you become a character or start acting like them from a TV show

Their personality leaks into your personality, and you start to slowly act like them, and why not? Their life might seem so much more interesting.

We all might have one of these thoughts that go through our heads, or do one of these actions. So next time say you're a TV show 'Enthusiast,' it sound so much better than just saying you are addicted to a TV show.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
