There's nothing quite as satisfying as a good old Netflix binge. Actually, you know what, it doesn't even have to be on Netflix. Any time binge-watching and any type of shows are involved, you can't go wrong. Below, 10 thoughts you have during a binge-watching session:

1. I could be a doctor/lawyer/detective.

Watching any show that involves professionals, think Grey's Anatomy, Law And Order, or anything similar makes you feel like you yourself could fulfill the characters' same roles and do it just as well. I mean, you've watched 4 hours straight of Grey's Anatomy, so you're basically a doctor now, right?

2. I need a snack.

If you've been watching something for more than 5 minutes, it just about guarantees that it's time for a snack.

3. What am I doing with my life?

There comes a point in every binge-watcher's career where one has to take a step back and question in what direction exactly his life is headed. That being said, nobody ever said continued binge-watching was a bad direction.

4. The classic "just one more episode."

We are all familiar with the age-old "just one more episode" lie. It might be 2 am and you have a midterm tomorrow, but as soon as you tell yourself you're only watching one more episode, you know you're in for a long night.

5. Who needs Netflix and chill anyway?

That whole "chill" part is just severely overrated if you ask me. I mean, who needs "chill" when you can have the same chill with a nice pint of ice cream?

6. I'm never moving again.

Wrapped in your safe and comfortable cocoon of reality television and warm blankets, your goal from this point forward becomes about avoiding as much physical activity and movement as humanly possible.

7. Why aren't I famous yet?

As you watch more and more various television shows, you can't help but think to yourself that you could be just as good of an actor as an actor on any show. In fact, if you had your own show, you just know that it would probably become the best show out there right away.

8. Does binge-watching count as exercise?

Can watching Netflix count as exercise for my eyes?

9. Should I switch shows?

Does switching shows make it less of a binge? Asking for a friend.

10. Wow, these characters are so dumb.

It kills you on an emotional level to watch these characters mess up their lives as you become so invested in them. Why can't she tell he's cheating on her? Why is he purposely starting a fight with his best friend? You just wish you could give your favorite characters some much-needed advice.

Now that we've run through these thoughts, the only next step is clear: continue watching. After all, it's all about perfecting your craft.
