6 Signs You May Have A Netflix Addiction

You're hooked, eyes pinned open at all hours by sheer will power - a force so strong, you cannot look away. A sensation builds in your stomach every time you see the next episode or the following season suggestion... Sometimes the click of the mouse ceases to take action and the next episode starts anyway. It's meant to be! Emotions soar, reality no longer matters, the characters in your real life are on the back burner and the only thing that matters is the action taking place on the screen right front of you, and the line between what is real and what is not becomes blurred. Whether it involves a series or a movie, a Netflix addiction can take many forms. And be quite serious.

Below are 6 signs you may be suffering from Netfordias: a Netflix addiction.

1. Red Eyes

Those late, sleepless nights are bound to catch up to you.

2. Anxiety

Your favorite character might die, the suspense might seem too much to handle at times, but it's nothing more Netflix can't fix!

3. Aggression

Relax, the next season will come out sooner than you think.

4. Isolation

Who needs friends, family, school or work to survive? Netflix can be that all and more.

5. Emaciation

New way to lose that unwanted belly fat.

6. Urinary tract infection or bowel obstruction

Careful, you might miss something super important if you get up to use the bathroom! Rewinding or pausing it takes away from precious viewing time. There's only so many hours in the day.

...

If you have been experiencing more than two of these symptoms for a week, then you may be advised to seek medical help. But just remember, you are not alone. About 99 percent of the population will suffer from this condition at least once in their lifetime.

*Disclaimer: Addictions are a very serious medical condition and should be taken very seriously. This piece was not written to make fun of this condition, it was meant to exaggerate the amount of time people spend on Netflix in a satirical way.

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.
