Whether it’s a series or a string of movies, today’s youth is known for binge watching. Day and night, we settle down and figuratively become a zombie.

There’s always so much to watch and enjoy. Here are typical thoughts that everyone who is guilty of binge-watching has had.

1. I’ll just watch one episode today

Then you proceed to watch ten because one alone is NEVER enough.

2. I should really go to bed now

It’s four am and an intense binge session has just occurred. Only sleep and food will prepare our bodies for the next one.

3. One More Episode

When the show just got to its mid-season climax, what right do you have to go to bed/ outside now? Surely one episode more will reveal all the secrets.

4. Why do my eyes hurt?

In your pitch-black rooms with the only source of light being our screen, it’s no surprise that your poor eyes feel sore after a while.

5. I should go pee but I’m sure I can hold it until the next episode

And proceed to hold it in till you’re in the middle of an episode and your bladder is ready to burst.

6. Yes, I’m still watching

In response to Netflix when it questions our life choices. Yes, I’ve been watching this from 5 p.m. and its 5 a.m. now – no problem here, please.

7. I need to socialize more

You realize you’ve spent the entire weekend in bed with food stains all over you. The idea of having friends is far away.

8. Wish I had someone binge watching this with me

Especially when there’s a sudden insane plot twist and you are absolutely freaking out but there’s no one to freak out with.

9. How long can this buffer for?

When the internet connectivity is having issues and all you just want is to see what happens next. *crying*

10. Now what?

You have finished the last episode of the show and you have no idea how you’ll function in the real world anymore. What is life? School? Homework?

But in the end, you’ll find another show to throw your attention and life at. Get your binge-watching survival kit ready!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
