Why I'm Binge-Watching "Game Of Thrones"
TV Calendar

In college, I have binged watched many television shows, especially on Netflix. I have watched all 13 seasons of Grey's Anatomy, 11 seasons of Supernatural and every season of Gilmore Girls. When it comes to a television show that I find interesting, I will watch that show like crazy. I will go three to five hours a day watching each show. This summer, I have been working full time trying to earn enough money to pay off rent and bills, so I haven't had the opportunity to binge watch a new television show. I've started new shows like Jane the Virgin, Stranger Things, and The Handmaids Tale but haven't binge-watched them.

The one show that I have recently started to watch for about three to four episodes a day has been Game of Thrones. When I first heard about the show a few years ago, I was not intrigued by it. It didn't catch my attention even though all my friends were talking about how great the show was. It wasn't until I moved in with my roommates, who are all into the show, that I started watching Game of Thrones.

It all started when my two roommates Matt and Padric started re-watching the show and introduced it to my other two roommates Kat and Chris, who then introduced it to me. We are all at different points in the series, but the episodes that I have seen thus far caught my attention, so I decided to start watching from season one.

A bit of context: I began watching from season six and the premiere of season seven. Watching these few episodes sparked my interest because I wanted to know how the show had evolved into what it is. Spoilers were given to me and I sort of knew a few things while watching season one. In the last few days, I have been able to watch 8 episodes of season 1, and it has been very interesting.

For those who haven't seen it yet, I definitely recommend watching the show. If you like major plot twists and can handle character deaths left and right, then this is the show for you. I don't want to give any spoilers to those who haven't seen it but the level of artistry that Game of Thrones is has blown my mind.

I am quite excited to see how long it will take me to watch all six complete seasons. I am betting on at least 3 weeks to finish the series and get caught up with season 7. If I binge-watched all of Grey's Anatomy in less than 2 months, then I can finish this show in a few weeks. After all, I did place a bet with my roommates that I would finish the series before the end of summer, which is exactly one month away. All I have to say is "Challenge accepted."

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
