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.
