With the fall and the return of back to school comes the natural tendency to want to watch tv shows whether it be the ones returning to television or an overwhelming need to suddenly binge watch that one series you should have watched over summer. Here are some of the struggles that come out of these sudden urges to watch tv shows.

1. Wanting to catch the latest episode of your favorite show only to be overwhelmed by work. Scream Queens, and American Horror Story I'm looking at you.

2. Finally finding the time to watch said shows only to realize they're not on Netflix or their channel website.

3. When the online stream says it's going to expire in a week and you don't have the time to binge watch it all. Shoutout to Freeform seeing as I just started guilt.

4. Falling asleep mid-episode after finally finding yourself free, and waking up completely and utterly confused.

5. Hearing other people talk about the episode in class and wondering how they had time to watch it while you didn't.

6. Spoilers on social media, need I say more. *cough*Game of Thrones*cough* So you naturally have to avoid all forms of it until you watch the episode.

7. When the school wifi goes down right when the show gets interesting and doesn't come back up for hours on end.

8. When you don't even have wifi at all, also known as every college kid's worst nightmare.

9. That moment of sadness when the buffering takes too long and you lose patience so you give up on watching the show.

10. When you have such high hopes for a show only to realize it's terrible but still binge watch it anyways.


So go on now dear college students and watch tv to your hearts content, well as long as you know you have time.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
