Downton Abbey Ruined My Life

Because the 1900s never looked so tempting.

Downton Abbey Ruined My Life
PBS

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?

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
