Do you live six days for one? Are you anxiously awaiting the next episode of "your" TV show all week, just dreading the season finale and wishing there was some way you could watch it from the beginning and not know what happens? Join the club. Since its invention, TV has been a way to entertain, unite, and inform people. The lives seen on the screen have infiltrated those of the people sitting on the couch, and events observed in popular television series have been some of the most widely discussed (cough, cough, Rachel and Ross).

With the advent of streaming services like Netflix and Hulu, television series are able to take over our lives on an entirely new scale and in a new and much more personal way. Sitting down with your family, or a group of friends, or even alone, but knowing everyone else in the world is seeing the show at the same time, is wildly different then curling up in bed by yourself and watching five episodes in a row of a TV show that has already run its course.

Now I'm not trying to come across as above binge watching; it happens to be something that takes up a lot of my time and something that I truly enjoy doing (and I definitely don't plan on stopping). However, I think it is extremely important to take stock of exactly how much we let these TV shows creep into our daily lives and why.

Sunday night was the season finale of "Game of Thrones," perhaps one of the most followed shows in the history of TV and definitely the biggest show on air right now. Millions of people sat around a TV tonight and anxiously watched their favorite characters get torn down, lifted back up, and torn down again in the seemingly never-ending drama of the seven kingdoms. But what happens when the drama ends? I know I am not the only one that will be feeling a little lost next Sunday (hopefully). So how do we fill the "Game of Thrones," or any other emotional roller coaster of a TV series, shaped hole in our life after the season ends and we await the next? Well, I don't really know. All I do know is I'm going to try and focus on my real life more than the lives I see on screen; who knows what one can accomplish on a Sunday night from 9 to 10 p.m.?
