12 Signs You've Been Watching Too Much Netflix
www.foxnews.com

I think we all know some of the signs that show we have been watching way too much Netflix at once. Some of those things might also be detrimental to our health, but we still continue to sit on our butts all day long and binge-watch anyway. Instead of being productive and doing things like homework, studying for exams, laundry, cleaning, spending time with our friends and going out, we sometimes like to just do nothing, chill all day and watch Netflix. Some of these might be slightly over-exaggerated for entertainment purposes.

1. Your butt or legs gets numb from sitting or laying in bed to long too long.

You've been sitting or lying down for so freakin' long, your legs need a little stretch to get the blood flow going again.

2. You friends have graduated college, gotten married and had kids.

You were so busy watching Netflix that you totally just passed by a bunch of your friends' life milestones that you could have been a part of. But you weren't, because you were too busy finishing up the last season of "Orange Is The New Black."

3. There is no more daylight.

You've skipped all your classes and have stayed in bed all day watching Netflix. It could've been a wonderful day out, and you're still inside.

4. There is no more night.

You've almost unknowingly pulled an all-nighter watching so much Netflix. You probably feel a little guilty for doing this, but then you quickly realize you don't care.

5. It gets really tough to not press the next episode button.

Must. Not. Press. The. Next. Episode. Button. OK, I pressed it. I'm weak. #sorrynotsorry

6. You get insanely irritated every time Netflix asks you if you are still watching.

You wish that Netflix would just auto play the next episode immediately after the episode ends.

7. You have finished everything available on Netflix.

Yeah, I work out. My eyes. I work out my eyes by gluing my eyes to my laptop screen.

8. You forget to eat a real meal.

Ooh, let's snack on some of these Flamin' Hot Cheetos, some cheese sticks, a bag of Twizzlers and a little bit of these Goldfish crackers. Dinner is served.

9. You avoid all responsibility, and slowly start to stray away from them.

Homework? Studying? Homework and studying? No. More like Netflix in my PJs all day.

10. You forget to socialize—and also forgot the fact that you have friends and family.

It was Billy's birthday five days ago? Uh, happy belated birthday Billy, haha...

11. You use all of the 15 seconds in-between episodes to quickly run to the toilet or make a snack run.

Ooh, snacks. But first, let me go pee.

12. When you're not watching Netflix, you're thinking about watching Netflix.

You feel literal pain when you are not watching Netflix, so you have to think about watching Netflix in order to get through the rest of your day.

At the end of the day, you know every single numbed leg and wasted minute of watching Netflix was totally worth it.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
