Downton Abbey Ruined My Life

Because the 1900s never looked so tempting.

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'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.

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.
