It is literally a vortex that sucks all of your time,
motivation, and really just any desire to do anything else all day. You all
know what I'm talking about. That’s right, Netflix. You can turn it on one
minute and the next thing you know four hours have passed and you haven’t even
started studying for the big test you have tomorrow. It is addictive, and
alluring, and terrible, yet the best invention ever. Netflix allows me to get
my fix on all the latest television shows without the annoying interruptions
caused by commercials. I mean no matter how many times I see that talking lizard;
I am not going to switch my car insurance right then and there. I am more
interested in who prince farming picks to give his final rose too, or who really
killed the model before her big career launching runway show. I have patience for many things, but not for commercials
that interrupt me when I'm trying to procrastinate on my homework.
I think I do have a serious problem however; it’s gotten to
the point where I tell myself, “I will do my homework while watching the latest
episode of Drop Dead Diva”. When in reality I know I might get one or two math
problems done in one hour long episode. I really hope I am not alone on this. Netflix
addiction is probably the reason for my grades not being as good as they could
be. But at this time of year I am constantly faced with this question: I could
do the pointless busywork that my teacher assigned, or I could watch a murderer
get brought to justice. More times than not the latter wins. It’s bad. I know. So
my advice to all you high school students out there, don’t be like me. Getting
addicted to Netflix is a huge detriment to your overall grades.
