Netflix binge-watching is a relatively new phenomenon. It consists of hours in front of your laptop or TV, getting caught up in a drama-filled world of fiction. Some see it as a blessing, others a curse. Whichever you believe, if you are a Netflix Binger, you definitely can relate to the following:

1. Time doesn’t exist...

2. And neither does sunlight…

Unless the red glow from Netflix's main page counts.

3. Sometimes you'd rather watch Netflix than go out

(More like all of the time.)

4. People are either impressed with your abilities...

or concerned about your commitment to fiction...

5. Either way, you think your TV watching skills are pretty top notch

6. Catching up with a show after binge-watching a few seasons is rough

One episode a week is not nearly enough!

7. Vacations mean more time for Netflix

Who needs to go outside and socialize anyway?

8. It's inevitable to lose track of how many times “Next episode playing in __ seconds” has popped up

9. Watching one season in a week is child’s play

Try four.

10. You always click “skip recap”

You don’t need a refresher when you’ve been watching the same show for seven hours.

11. You get too emotionally invested in the characters’ lives

12. You have dozens of Netflix shows to recommend to friends

Supernatural, One Tree Hill, The Office, Gilmore Girls, The Vampire Diaries, Grey's Anatomy, New Girl, The Flash, Sherlock, Arrow, Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars, Once Upon a Time, Stranger Things...need I go on?

And when you get them hooked, you think:

13. You’ve had many internal debates on whether or not you should go to bed

You: you have to be up early in the morning

Also You: keep watching, you have to find out what happens next

14. “Just one more” never means just one more

And when your friends ask you if you kept watching even though you said you would take a break, you give them this face:

15. The theme song of your current Netflix binge becomes your jam

16. In every show you watch, there’s that one character that you hate with a burning passion…

*cough* Dan Scott *cough*

17. And there’s always that character that you adore and want to protect at all costs

18. You are lost when you finish a series

19. "I have to go get some work done now" is code for "I have to go watch Netflix until I'm exhausted and don't have time to actually be productive"

20. You know you should probably cut back on Netflix, but you couldn't care less

It's basically your boyfriend/girlfriend, why break up with someone so reliable? ;)

21. You’re forever in the middle of binge-watching a new show, and you don't plan on stopping anytime soon

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
