Dear Netflix Bingers,

It's me, the girl you can't stand. You know the one who also is a self-proclaimed binger but isn't anywhere close to the level the rest of you are on. Sure, we both started that show at the same time six months ago and I'm only just hitting season two while you are 14 seasons deep and are now watching the current up to date episodes every Thursday night at 8 p.m. while I hide under a rock avoiding social media for spoilers at all costs.

Yes, you definitely hate me. I say I'm a die hard fan of the show, same as you, and hey I am! But, I definitely pace myself. Or, you know am just slow as hell. You know sometimes I binge a few episodes in a night... sometimes I spend a whole rainy day watching hour episode after episode but then I step away.

Sometimes for a week other sometimes a few months. I have valid excuses like work, and school and a social life.. mostly though, I am just easily distracted. You can't fault me for not having the attention span to stay glued to the t.v. for more than a few days at a time! But, you do and I get it.

Just so you know though, sometimes I binge two seasons of a show just to binge four seasons of a different one and find myself going back and forth between four shows at once, perpetually never making any real progress towards finishing one show. I know I'm irritating and trust me, I'd like to step my game up but hey, I'm easily distracted and clearly multitasking is not my forte. Please don't strip me of my binging title or spoil episodes I may never reach.

Sincerely,

The Worst Binger There Ever Was

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
