Confessions Of An Avid Netflix Watcher

I can't stop.

Confessions Of An Avid Netflix Watcher
Huffington Post

Hi, my name is Nicole Grant. I have an addiction. It takes control of my life. I constantly cave in to enjoying it all the time. When I wake up, as I am falling asleep, while I eat dinner, and when I should be being productive.


I am addicted to Netflix.

1. I have watched Netflix while I took a bubble bath.

In case you want to learn how to do it yourself, what I do is I take a TV tray stand and bring it into the bathroom. Then I set my laptop on top and press play. If there is major glare you can even shut the lights off in the bathroom.

If you want to watch Netflix in the shower I heard you can put your phone in a plastic baggy then clip it to the towel holder. I've never done it, but rumor has it it works.

There's also always the option of investing in a waterproof phone or iPhone case and just letting your device become submerged in water.

2. I have marathoned Netflix in the same spot for more hours straight than I should tell you.

Everybody has those days. You get some snacks, maybe a blanket, and a pillow, and then you stay in bed watching the same show for hours.

I mean, I think I burn calories when I fluff my pillow or lift a chip into my mouth. And I mean, sometimes, I drop the remote and I have to get it, and other times, I need to plug my laptop charger in.

3. I have shows I swear by, and if you don't like them I don't know if we can be friends.

If you don't like "Orange Is the New Black" I don't know if we can be friends. Same with "Criminal Minds." I mean, I don't know how you can expect a friendship without Netflix binge watching... and if you don't like OINTB or "Criminal Minds" what will we even watch?

4. When I say wanna watch Netflix, I mean want to sit down and watch Netflix.

I do not want to participate in any of this "Netflix and chill." I want to actually sit down and watch Netflix. Maybe even chow down on some grub -- no -- definitely chow down, I mean just look at this next reason.

But, what I do not want to do is distract myself from staring at the television, or laptop, because I do not want to miss any of my latest binge watching-worthy show.

5. When there is Netflix, there is food.

Netflix is never complete without large amounts of food. Especially unhealthy food. Usually pizza, or nachos, or candy, or ice cream... oh boy, now I am starting to hungry myself.

But, you know, Netflix in front of me, and pizza in my hand makes a fantastic combination.

6. I probably won't text you back when I am immersed in my show.

I tend to get caught up in my show. Currently my binge watching show is "Scandal," so if I forget to text you back for five hours I was probably too captivated by Fitz, Olvia, and Huck to remember to respond. I know, where are my manners?

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

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.
