10 Things You Experience When You Watch A New Show

We've all had these feelings.

10 Things You Experience When You Watch A New Show
Everyday Feminism

We've all started a new show that we like and would totally recommend for our friends. Right now, my shows are "Stranger Things" ('80s-style thriller) on Netflix and the old show "Smallville." When we start a new show or re-watch one, so many emotions are involved and it's hard to keep track of them all.

1. Excitement

You turn on the show, ready for it to start, and by the end, you're ready for the next episode. The suspense is killing you because you think, "No, I'm not going to watch the entire first season of this show in one day," and then it's dawn the next morning.

2. Apprehension

Is the show going to be good? Is all of the hype worth it? Your finger is hovering over the enter button, and then you press it with some hesitation. You might have heard from your friends that the show is fantastic, but sometimes your friends are hit or miss.

3. Becoming Invested

The show becomes your life. You live it. You breathe it. You become it. You also binge-watch it on weekends because why not?

4. Anger

Why did this character do this? Why did she have to die? Why did he have to get amnesia and forget the girl he loves? There are so many emotions running through your head right now, but the primary one is anger. How dare the writers for putting this in the show.

5. Heartbreak

Like anger, we have questions. We want answers. We don't want our faves to die, not after they were in the show for so long *cough "Grey's Anatomy" cough.* After one particularly heart-wrenching episode, you could be found curled up in a ball with a tub of ice cream bawling your eyes out.

6. Happiness

They finally figured out who killed him/her! And you knew that it was this one character that looked pretty shady from the beginning. Your best friend was wrong, you were right, and now you get to gloat. Hah.

7. Shock

Did... did that just happen? You weren't ready. Your best friend beside you wasn't ready. Your mom, 50 miles away and watching it on the DVR with you because you didn't get to watch it before, wasn't ready.

8. Defeat

It's over. There's only five minutes left in the episode, absolutely no time for anything new to happen (unless it's "Scandal"). But wait. Who's walking into the building? Your favorite character from season one that you thought had died because they disappeared? It is!

9. Pride

Your favorite season one character has the key to fixing the conflict just in time for the season finale. You're glad that they're back, because that was an open plothole just waiting to be filled and you needed that character back in your life.

10. Satisfaction

You've finished the show. You're good. You can finally rest in peace now that the conflict is solved and the characters are in varying states of happiness. But wait. When's the next season coming out? Next year?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
