The 9 Steps Of Binge Watching

"Binge Watching" is described as watching a television series for a long time at once. Binge watching is referred to by Netflix, by watching anywhere from 2-6 episodes of a show in one sitting, however, the professional binge watchers can watch much more than that in a sitting and throughout their day. Accounts like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Video and many others are large contributors to the binge-watching phenomenon. Here are some things you need and can do to prepare yourself to binge watch and actually commit to it.

1. You will need an account setup with any program such as Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Video to even begin the binge watching process.

2. You will then need to decide what television show you want to start, because usually once you start there's no going back. (Grey's Anatomy is always a good choice)

3. You will then need to have time to binge watch, hopefully without it interrupting your daily lives. (Usually hard to prevent) So some good times to binge watch are at night, on weekends, or if you are a student during breaks.

4. You then watch the first episode and think you are not going to get addicted, however, that is usually incorrect. So you go from watching one episode a week to two episodes and so forth.

5. It is important during binge watching sessions that you stay hydrated and eat properly, so always have snacks and water nearby or in the next room for that 15 second period in between each Netflix episode.

6. Once you start having a binge-watching session every single day, it is clear to say that you have officially become part of the "Netflix addicts" squad that so many people get stuck in.

7. You are now in a committed relationship with Netflix. Can anyone say addicted?

8. Finally, once you have successfully binge watched all 200+ episodes of "Grey's Anatomy" in a month (We've all done it, don't judge!) you reach the sad reality...what do you do with your life now?

9. Then you realize "I'll just start another series!!" Then the cycle starts all over again!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
