16 Stages of Starting  a New Show
Gladson Xavier

With so many TV shows available on the internet, through Netflix or Hulu or Amazon Prime, it's sometimes hard to decide which shows to start. Of course, whenever you pose this problem to a friend or coworker, they are more than willing to give a list of shows that they have watched already. This list varies from person to person and the types of show suggestions range from Friends and the Simpsons to Doctor Who and Game of Thrones.

1. Excitement

Finally someone mentioned a great show that you haven't watched yet, and they're willing to watch it with you.

2. Expectation

You've heard of this show before and now you finally get to see what the hype was all about.

3. Starting the show

You don't realize what you're getting into until the end of that first episode.

4. Recognizing famous moments

You've seen that GIF somewhere before.

5. Spoilers

If it's a popular show, you've seen way more spoilers than you think

6. Knowledgeable friends

They know so much and just laugh at you when you get attached to characters that die.

7. Foreshadowing

When a friend uses past tense on a character, you know something will happen to them.

8. Predictions

When you think you know what may happen to a character or the way the story might go.

9. Season finale

You reach the end of a season, the first huge cliff hanger. Hopefully, you don't have to wait long to see the next season.

10. Binge watching

10 episodes in one day, a season in a weekend, no sweat.

11. True predictions

When you get far enough into a show, you start to learn the patterns of the writers, and sometimes you can guess correctly what they will do next.

12. Unforeseen deaths

Just when you think you know what will happen, a plot twist turns everything around.

13. Reaching the end

When there's no more to watch, all that's left is to wait and make theories.

14. Waiting for the next episode

The anticipation, the lack of patience.

15. Admitting you're obsessed

You have all of the merchandise. All of it.

16. Showing your friends

Now that you've fallen in love with this show, it's time to share it with others.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
