An Open Letter To Netflix

From One Annoyed College Student

An Open Letter To Netflix
Forbes

Listen here, Netflix. I've got a bone to pick with you.

You boast being the best place to do all of our binge-watching marathons of any amazing show you have available to stream, which is pretty hard to argue, but there is one major flaw and annoyance to this claim. Why is it that after only THREE EPISODES you give me the damned screen asking if I'm still watching? Like, if you want me to use your service to binge watch, what do you consider bingeing? An episode or two? NO. If I am bingeing How to Get Away With Murder, you better expect that I am planting my booty on the couch until I finish an entire season.

I have come to you prepared, wearing my comfiest sweats, a mixture of sweet and salty snacks, plenty of drinks, and a fuzzy blanket at the ready. If I were to be watching these shows on cable TV, a night of three episodes is just a typical weeknight of television watching. And I never have to find the remote to push the "Continue Watching" button! I can melt into my couch and become as sedentary as possible, but you like to make me work for everything, dontcha Netflix!? I pay nearly $10 for you every month and this is how you repay me? I'm sick of it! You're so great with your lack of commercials and plethora of options for my indecisive ass, but this nuisance, Netflix, this nuisance is the last straw.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
