Netflix Addiction

I have had Netflix for almost a year now and ever since I’ve gotten it, I have been pretty much addicted. When I first got it, I had recently had surgery, so I was thankful that I had something new to keep me occupied for the next couple of days. Little did I know that it would keep me busy for the next couple of months!

          When I first started using Netflix, I was just watching random movies that looked interesting and trying to find classic ones that I loved. I didn’t have much intent for it being what I relied on in later months. Then one of my friends told me about this show that was really good called Gossip Girl and said I would love it. So I started watching it and it became addictive. The story line was interesting and you never knew what was coming next. I would keep telling myself that I would just watch “one more episode.” But then the end of the “last” episode would have a huge cliff-hanger and I would just have to watch the next one! This is just the beginning of my addiction to Netflix.

          The next show that got me hooked was One Tree Hill. It only took me two days to watch the 21 episodes in the first season. I realized that it was even better than Gossip Girl, even though it was still one of my favorite shows. I continued to watch it and around three months later, I was finished with all eight seasons. Whoops. I guess time flies when you are having fun… I know what everyone is thinking, you must’ve done nothing but stay home and watch it all the time. But nope, I still hung out with my friends and went to a ton of school activities. But two of my friends are the ones that got me hooked, so whenever I hung out with them, we would always watch a couple of episodes. And then whenever I went home from friends’ houses or school events, I would watch a couple more episodes. It sounds crazy, but it was definitely worth it.

          When I finished both of those shows, I started watching two more shows. Although, they aren’t as good as my other two, they were still interesting and full of drama. Recently, Netflix updated their shows and added the newest seasons of my three favorite ones. Of course I was ecstatic when this happened and just had to rush to my laptop to watch them! So here I am today, still addicted to watching all of my favorite shows. But I’m finally coming clean about my addiction to Netflix.
