Faces Anyone Who Has Binged A Show Will Recognize

'Tis the season for Netflix and snacks.

Faces Anyone Who Has Binged A Show Will Recognize
Productive Magazine

Summer is undeniably a time for restlessness, idleness, and copious amounts of time wasted. Even though the end of May brings optimistic hopes of "getting a head start" on reading for the fall semester or "finally getting healthy" or catching up on your sleep so you can be on a "normal sleep pattern". But, without fail, the end of July comes around before you've gotten the chance to catch up with all those hometown high school friends you promised you would. One of the greatest time suckers of all time is our best friend and worst enemy, Netflix. All my binge watchers out there living large this summer (not leaving bed all day), this is for you.

1. The "You have to watch this show"

Alright, if you say so. It sounds interesting enough.

2. The "Can't get enough"

They're known to scream, "This is the best show ever written!"

3. The "Trying and failing to avoid spoilers"

Bonus points if your friends have already seen the whole series and constantly forget that you haven't.

4. The "It's a beautiful day outside but I can't be bothered"

Sure, everyone you know is on vacation or at a music festival, but you're enjoying hours of endless entertainment for (almost) free.

5. The "This is the last episode I'm watching before I go to sleep"

Who decided that every single episode should end in a cliffhanger? What sick, twisted person has done this to me?

6. The "Have you done anything all day?"

No, Mom, I have not. And I will not.

7. The "OMG, I finished a season in less than a day"

I feel a weird combination of pride and disgust at your "accomplishment."

8. The "Only three more episodes!!!"

There are far too many loose ends; they cannot possibly resolve everything.

9. The "What do you mean that's the end?!"

I demand more!!! Reunite the cast! Make a movie! Anything to keep the series alive!

10. The "My life is empty without this show"

The characters felt like friends, maybe even family, and without their lives to distract you from your own, everything just feels pointless.

11. The "What should I watch next?"

You will find another show to binge and you will repeat the entire process again. But then again, if you don't, maybe you'll actually get up and start doing productive things!

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
