An Ode To Binge Watching

You're on season six now, episode nine of twenty-two and you slow your roll.

I'm at the second to last season of my show: The Good Wife on Amazon Prime.

Everyone knows how that feels.

You finally found a show to watch on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu and countless others and there's actually five to six seasons or better yet you found one with seven! How lucky are you? You've become enraptured in this show, their emotions are your emotions. Your favorite character died? No, not them! Anyone but them. Why would the producers do this to you? Don't they know that you have so much invested in their wellbeing? Obviously they're doing this to punish you, they don't really care about your feelings. You're not important to them, they're selfish becuase what else could they be if they killed off your favorite character?

You're on season six now, episode thirteen of twenty-two and you slow your roll. You don't want to get to season seven too fast because then what are you going to do with your life? You'll end up in a funk. The one you get after you finish watching a show and now you don't know what to do with the extra time you have. You could do some homework? But nah, you have plenty of time for that. You could find a hobby one that you have to do outside and not sitting on your couch in front of your tv? Ew, only weirdos like doing things outside, I'm more of a couch potato. Instead you just sit around and picture your life, how it would be if you hadn't watched that last episode. You'd still have meaning to your life, a purpose. You wouldn't be floating, wandering aimlessly looking for the next great show to binge watch with at least five seasons.

You flip through the options on Netflix, then Amazon Prime, Hulu, Showtime and HBO. Still nothing catches your attention. You sigh and just as you're about to turn off the tv and pick up a book something catches your eye.

Is that? No, it couldn't be.

Yes, it's a show that looks interesting and it has six seasons.

Suits, please don't disappoint me.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
