15 Things That Happen When You're the Only Person Who Watches Your Favorite Show
Lana Wachowski

We all have that one show: the show that has changed your life, made you laugh/cry harder than any other show in the world, the show that you can watch any day of the week and it'll still be the greatest show of all time, and the show that also happens to be the one show no one else you know watches. Sure, you'll find one or two people who share your interests, and you can find three Buzzfeed articles to read about them whenever you get bored, but it's not the same. So here are the 15 worst things about watching and loving a show no one else watches as told by my unwatched shows Gavin & Stacey and Sense8. (all image credits belong to Gavin & Stacey and Sense8 Gifs )

1. No one gets your refrences.


2. The plot of your show sounds like an Introductory to Swahili course in North Dakota to everyone who isn't you.


3. You get extremely defensive of your show whenever anyone insults it.


4. People tell you to calm down because"it can't be that good if I've never heard of it".


5. You literally cannot stop laughing at jokes that make no sense to anyone else.


6. Your OTPs can never be found on Tumblr because no one watches your show even though they are the best couples to ever exist.


7. The characters themselves are iconic and the world does not appreciate their majesty.


8. When you tell your friend how alike they are to a character, you end up sounding weird because the only references they can find to those characters are gifs like below:


9. Your favorite characters give great advice, and no one else can hear it.

(For real, this is the woman who plays Old Nan in Game of Thrones and she was a comedy legend).

10. Sometimes, you feel like you're going to explode with how much you love your unloved show


11. Since you're usually alone when you watch it, you may lose touch with the real world for a little bit.


12. Every new season is like Christmas even though it seems like you're the only one celebrating.


13. If you use terms from the show, people will think you're speaking a foreign language.


14. When you meet someone who watches your show, it's the best feeling in the world.


15. But besides that person, let's be real, this is exactly how you feel about everyone else:

Happy 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.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. 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.
