An Open Letter To Netflix

Dear Netflix,

Instead of studying for exams and doing homework and projects, I use you to watch TV shows and movies. Once important deadlines approach, I seem to always find a new show to binge-watch, like Marvel's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." Yes, I am obsessed with that show. I have watched two seasons in less than a week and a half. It is addicting. Especially when you have a hot doctor (Ph.D.) with skills in engineering and weapons. He is a dream boat. To top it off, he is Scottish. What a killer accent! Anyway, thank you for helping me get through college. I don't know what I would do with my spare time. Study more? Nah. You are more important.

You never cease to amaze me. You have every TV show and movie I want to watch. "Criminal Minds," "Pretty Little Liars," "Zoo," "Gotham," "Buffy The Vampire Slayer," "Parks and Recreation," "Jane the Virgin," "Gilmore Girls," etc. I can also reminisce about my childhood memories by watching some oldies—"Scooby Doo," Disney movies, "High School Musical," "Spy Kids," and so on.

When I am sick, you become my best friend. You make me feel better. I can just lie on my couch, nestle in my blanket, drink my Earl Grey tea, and watch you for hours and hours. You are the best part of being sick.

You are my sunshine when clouds are gray or when I am sick. You are the light in the darkness or when it's final exams time. You are gift that keeps on giving when you keep adding my favorite TV shows and movies to your website. Thank you for helping me get through college.

Yours truly,

Mary

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
