28 Signs Of A Netflix Addiction

You are finally done with all your exams, final projects and crazy classes. Now you have all the time in the world to do what you love, right? Well if you are like me, you are definitely spending your Winter Break doing one of your favorite things: binge-watching TV on Netflix.

Most of the time, this binge watching is completely harmless, just a reason to stay up to date with your favorite TV shows when you were too busy studying. But especially during your winter break it, your Netflix usage can surely transform into that nasty A - word.

Here are some signs that your Winter Break Netflix watching is slowly transforming into a Netflix Addiction:

1. Your lack of sun exposure from spending 12 hours a day watching every season of The Walking Dead.

2. Constant cancellation of relatively normal plans with your old best friends because you have "already made plans" with your laptop.

3. Your family's concern for never shifting spots on the couch or in your room for hours at a time.

4. Increased laziness on performing daily activities such as showering, brushing teeth, changing clothes, eating and living normally.

5. An increase in bad eating habits such as bags of potato chips, popcorn, Pop-tarts, mac and cheese, cereal and guacamole despite the fact that there is normal food in your house.

6. You have a constant wardrobe of pajamas and sweatpants day in and day out.

7. Becoming emotionally detached from every life event other than your Netflix shows.

8. Becoming extremely emotionally invested to all aspects of your Netflix shows.

9. Several tissue boxes have to surround you as you watch any season finale of your favorite TV shows, but thank the Lord you can just jump on over to the next season.

10. Looks of loss and confusion are normal when you have finished an entire series of a Netflix show.

11. You cannot contain how mind blown you are from each series' final episode.

12. You only invite friends over if it means watching another episode of "Revenge" or "Scandal".

13. You get way too excited about a blizzard or snow warning because it gives you a better excuse to not leave your house.

14. Walking to the bathroom/ kitchen is the maximum exercise you will execute per day.

15. You start relating all parts of your life to your Netflix TV shows.









16. Every relationship problem you have can be answered by asking yourself "what would Blair and Chuck do" in this situation.

17. You start to believe that you are Blair/Chuck.

18. Your dreams are starting to become similar to your Netflix shows.

19. You have become nocturnal from the hours of watching Netflix at night.

20. The number of Netflix shows you watch is starting to exhaust you.

21. You have a fear of never finishing any of them now.

22. But you continue to watch to your heart's content.

23. You question whether you should start re-watching "Breaking Bad".

24. You re-watch "Breaking Bad".

25. You remember that there are also movies on Netflix.

26. You watch a few but then return to watching more TV shows.

27. At least you gave it a shot, but nothing is better than watching TV shows on Netflix.

28. And now you await the next season of "Orange is the New Black".

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
