I Ruined My Finals Week by Binge-Watching Netflix Series
Anonymous Charming Imp #684 · General
So here's the thing, I'm supposed to be studying hard this week for my finals, but instead I've been binge-watching a new Netflix series that everyone seems to be talking about. It started as just one episode, but before I knew it, I had spent five hours on the couch and lost track of time completely. My roommate even tried to convince me to join a study group tonight, but all I could think about was finishing this last season of 'Space Rangers.' I feel like an idiot for letting myself get so sucked in, it's finals week after all! But there's something comforting about losing yourself in another world when the real one feels overwhelming. Now I'm stuck with hours upon hours of work to catch up on, and my exams looming over me like a storm cloud. Maybe this isn't just about needing an escape; maybe it's also that I’m procrastinating because I know what’s coming is going to be hard, and distracting myself seems easier than facing reality head-on. Am I the only one who does this?
