5 Things You Do If Your 'Fun' Is Watching Netflix

https://static.pexels.com/photos

Meanwhile, all your friends or people you know are going out to clubs, parties, games, social events, and then there's you just about every Saturday night binge watching Netflix.

You know how it goes — Too tired to get dressed up to go out- Socializing seems like A LOT of work- Or you just really don't enjoy the always on the go lifestyle... So what sounds fun? Binge watching your favorite movies and TV episodes.

Yes, we definitely consider this to be FUN, and here are 5 things you tend to do when Netflix is your fun...

1. You think about what you're going to watch that night in the middle of work or school

To watch breaking bad, the office, or one of those weird movies Netflix has made? This is a very serious decision because you don't want to waste any time browsing.

2. You get excited thinking about cuddling up and watching Netflix.

Only 4 hours 35 minutes and 26 seconds until you're home and ready to cozy up in your bed, turn on some Netflix, and chill.

3. It's like your life is over when the "too many people are viewing" message pops up

As soon as this happens you go on a wild manhunt calling and texting everyone who has your account until you can find someone to convince to get off. Do they not realize they're ruining your non-social life?

4. Snacks, snacks, snacks

Oh yes... snacks are the cherry on top of the cake when it comes to binge-watching Netflix. Have to get some sour patch kids, Cheetos, cookies, popcorn, and maybe if you're feeling really gourmet then you order a pizza.

5. You suggest Netflix as a fun hangout sesh

So your friends ask you to hang out and do something on a Friday night, any suggestions? Of course! There's 16 new movies that have been released for the month of October on Netflix. You have to get started early. BYOB (bring your own blanket) and snacks. Party starts at 8!

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

University of Wisconsin Branch Schools

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

11 Struggles Of Having An “Ethnic” Name

You'll never find any souvenirs with your name on it

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

3198

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
