We're all guilty of it, and there's no denying. Netflix. The binge-watching trend that has recently surfaced should really be added to the list of Venial sins as a subcategory of being a glutton. But whatever.

#cantstopwontstop

But with binge-watching comes the dilemma of finishing an entire series in a record time of 72 hours and consequently being left with the struggle of finding and starting a new show. Somewhere between grieving the loss of our last three-day lifestyle and anticipation of what's next lies the following steps we are all familiar with.

1. Trying to get accustomed to life post-Most Recent Netflix Endeavor

I never thought this day would come. But it has and now I am totally lost. Ugh.

2. Finding a show that might be somewhat appealing but also feeling like nothing will ever replace the series you just finished

Gossip Girl seems cool but Grey's Anatomy was phenomenal. Nothing will ever measure up.

3. Starting the new show and looking at the screen like this because you still aren't impressed after only 20 minutes into season 1 of episode 1


4. But still giving the show a chance despite your doubts and feeling that same binge-itch creeping on

5. Admitting that yes, the show is actually somewhat enticing

6. Feeling that slow sense of addiction starting to trickle back in

7. Finding yourself putting your phone on Do Not Disturb for some alone time with your newfound favorite show

8. Realizing you haven't moved in six hours and that you're already done the first season of your new show

9. Only leaving your designated watching spot to run to the bathroom or get food

10. But when you do you sprint back so that you can watch your show

11. Realizing you're half way through this series and starting to feel that familiar sense of dread because you know it's halfway over

12. Slowin' ya roll because you're ¾ of the way done and you just went through this whole cycle and aren't ready for that type of emotional turmoil yet again

13. For some reason, starting to feel like the episodes in the last season are shorter than the others and there are less of them

14. Accidentally watching the last episode of the show and having to deal with the shock that comes with the abrupt ending

15. *Repeat cycle*

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.
