7 Reasons Netflix Will Ruin Your Life

1. You will never want to leave your bed… or chair… or wherever it is that you are situated.

Sure, you haven’t eaten breakfast yet or even changed out of your pajamas, but why would you want to when your whole world’s right here?

Also, that would involve moving.

2. Next episode is playing in fourteen seconds.

“But Netflix, I have to go potty! Oh well, I guess it can wait. I’ll just go ahead and ignore the fact that this is exactly what I said prior to the previous episode starting in fourteen seconds...which, now that I think about it, would explain why my bladder feels like it’s about to explode.”

3. It will waste all of your time.

With one episode playing right after the other, one naturally wants to watch several in a row — as well as conveniently forget that one episode is about half an hour long at the very least. I’ll let that speak for itself, because you know damn well you don’t just watch one.

4. It will destroy your social life.


Admit it, there have been days that you literally did not see anyone because you were in your dorm all day watching back-to-back episodes of "Orange Is The New Black," and when this was pointed out to you, you tried to get defensive but you had no rebuttal.

5. It will make you stay up until ungodly hours.

"Sleep? What's sleep? Irrelevant as long as there are still more episodes of this season to be watched. Anyway, I'll be finished with it in just a little bit." - me at four in the morning

6. It will take your time management skills and flush them down the toilet.

"That homework I had? Yeah, I'll do it later. Class just ended and I need some quality chill time. I know! I'll watch Netflix!" - you, before you find out too late that you just wasted threefourfive hours of your precious homework time to watch your favorite show

7. It will result in starting your homework way later than you should.

Have you ever started your homework at two in the morning in a fatigued daze and fallen asleep at the computer several times while you attempt to bang out an essay at the last minute? Me too.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
