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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
