11 Gifs That Describe Watching "Black Mirror"

This week, I binge-watched Netflix's show "Black Mirror" and let me tell you; I am all sorts of fucked-up. This show uses technology, both modern and futuristic, to play with your feelings and give you all types of existential crises. So here are 11 gifs that describes any newcomer's experience to this amazing show.

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

1.

This was me when I realized that each episode was its own plot and were standalone. This was also me when... you know what? This is me EVERY SINGLE EPISODE.

2.

When I knew that each episode would be messed up, and I prepared myself. But no one prepared me for "White Bear." Nothing ever could.

3.

At the end of "San Junipero," before the credits, I was filled with sadness at the prospect of the two lead characters of the episode not getting together. But as the credits went on and it showed that they DID get together, I cried tears of happiness seeing two people fall in love: two women nonetheless. My gay heart fluttered.

4.

At the end of "Shut Up and Dance" and this fateful image was sent to the characters:

5.

In the show's first episode, "The National Anthem," the Prime Minister had sex with a pig...and that is not a euphemism.

6.

This was me during the all of "Be Right Back." Hayley Atwell's acting was phenomenal, and the ending got me feeling some type of way.

7.

This was my face all throughout "Playtest." Was he in reality? Was he in the video game? WHAT IS GOING ON?

8.

This is me every. single. episode. Just when I think I figured it all out, "Black Mirror" decides to just turn my world upside down. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

9.

"Black Mirror" makes me want to give up technology and live far away in the woods. You see how technology impacts the lives of the characters and in most cases, destroy their lives.

10.


The technology in "The Entire History of You" was genius and made life convenient, at first. I couldn't stop watching how the characters used it. But of course, this technology ended up ruining their lives, making me hate technology all over again (see number 9).

11.

"Black Mirror" causes you to reflect on your life, think about the technology you use, and question your morals. This show has made me cry, laugh, scared, and fall into existential crises. It's a series that is intelligent, ground-breaking, and inventive, and it is definitely worth watching.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
