Downton Abbey Ruined My Life

Because the 1900s never looked so tempting.

Downton Abbey Ruined My Life

It consists of endless nights and procrastinating the important things like homework and a social life You bring it to the bathroom as you bathe or what not, and you forget to pay attention in class because it plays on the screen of your laptop. Many will give up after a few hours, but not the strong as they sit for endless seasons of emotions. Everyone is thinking of their favorite show, but let me point this out that the few will know the emotions I express when I watch the worst: Downton Abby. So pretty much TV ruined my life.

I found a love in Netflix and Amazon Prime at such a young age because ads are not really a thing when you pay the money monthly/yearly. I will get hooked on something and that will be the end of it and my social life. Sleep will cease to exist as I replace it with binge watching hours of episodes even though I have work in the morning and will more than likely burn myself. The thing is, I could not bear to say no to the exhaustion because the emotions I felt were too strong for the sweet feeling of nothingness.

As I sat in my bed for hours on end watching Downton Abby, my emotions ran rampant due to the fact that all I wanted to know was what would happen next. My friends forbid to sit with me any more because I would scream and hit because the dumb Crawleys could not get their life together like I wanted. My heart ached as did theirs, and I felt at peace with them like I was born into the family. Please note that this show made me more emotional than I already am due to the overwhelming realization that I wanted to be in the show. So let me sum up 8 reasons why I hate Downton Abbey and how it ruined every feelings I thought was strong.

1. There Are Not Enough Episodes In Each Season

I will state that six to seven episodes a season is not enough for someone to understand the pain that the people in the early 1900s felt like.


2. There Are Not Enough Seasons

Six seasons is NEVER enough when all the feels are coming and you devote your life to it and not your studies.


3. Why Is Daisy A JERK?!

She made Alfred leave, she did not want to marry William, and she cannot be decisive to save her life. I seriously resented the girl and wish I was in her place because both men were appealing for days.

4. Edith.

Enough said.

5. My LOVE for Sybil As A Role Model

Thank you for being the person that most want to be today. Stepping out of social norms for what your heart desires and happiness that will swarm you for centuries. But I dislike you still for dying on me and letting Tom get with all the gross people after.

6. The Deaths

Matthew, William, Sybil, The Ambassador that slept with Mary, etc.... So many.

7. Mary Is A WITCH

I swear she hates everyone.

8. Let Me Be In There....

Can I be a Crawley?

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
