Netflix is a major necessity to many around the world. Starting a new series puts warmth into so many people’s hearts. There are people out there who watch Netflix just because it is something to do, but then there are people like me. People who look at Netflix as more than just an app that houses endless movies and television shows. People who are grateful for the joy that countless episodes can bring you in a day's time.

There are people who watch Netflix every day, once a week or an obscene amount of hours a day. Some may say the everyday watcher is the person that is Netflixing the correct way because they are spending a responsible amount of their time enjoying one to four hours of a show. No one should dare praise someone who watches Netflix once a week. Who are they to disrespect such a beautiful resource of happiness? If you are only going to watch episodes of a series once a week, are you even qualified to watch that series? Do you actually even love that series?

Let’s take some time to praise the real hero in the Netflix world. The people who literally put all their other responsibilities on the back burner in order to watch a Netflix series in a certain amount of days. Those who have flunked tests, missed out on naps and sacrificed meals just to get in four more episodes. Those are people who are doing life right; those are the ones who will show you how to Netflix the right way.

You Netflix the right way by first taking time out to actually pick a three or more star rated show. Do not listen to Netflix and their crappy recommendations. Be you and find what you want to watch. Secondly, remember to only start a new series around noon, and only when you know that the rest of your day is free. Once you start the new series, make sure you always pause it if you feel sleep coming along. If the show has over three seasons and each episode is over 30 minutes long, you’ll have to dedicate more of your time to it, but that is fine. If you’re a Netflix binge-watcher like me, you already watch at least six episodes a day. If the show is under 30 minutes, you will need to double the number of episodes you watch a day. Also, remember if you want to be considered a real Netflixer, you will need to finish a series with more than three seasons in under three weeks.

I know this all might sound unhealthy and really unproductive, but what would you rather be doing—watching Netflix or studying? Would you rather be watching someone else’s life unfold or your own? You choose, but remember—when it gets to Netflix, you are either all in or you are all out.
