As a full-time student at UTRGV with a part-time job, sometimes it is hard to find a moment to myself. I feel as if the weeks tend to go by super fast.
When I wake up, it is Monday, and the next day it is already Friday. But watching Netflix helps me slow down time and get away from everything.
I like to turn on the TV and put on my favorite show on Netflix, “New Girl,” which is a sitcom. It makes my day, being able to binge-watch multiple episodes and laugh along with my sisters while snacking on Sour Patch Kids and different kinds of chips. This is what I look forward to after a long week of school and work.
I believe Netflix is a great way to spend quality time with friends and family. I like to get together with my friends and have a movie night and argue about what movie to watch. It is the small things Netflix does for us that I love about it.
For instance, watching Netflix fits every mood I am in. If I am happy, I tend to watch “Grey’s Anatomy” or different Korean dramas because the shows are interesting or funny. When I feel down or stressed, I like to watch the movie “Holidate” because I am a hopeless romantic and it makes me feel better.
Netflix offers a variety of shows and movies with different genres. In my family, we all have different genre preferences. While my little sister likes to watch mystery and romance TV shows, my older sister likes action and suspense movies.
Netflix helps me escape from my worries as I watch a movie or show with a loved one, my pet or spending some time alone. Especially in the fall or winter, it is nice to cuddle up with a blanket and a cup of hot chocolate with lots of tiny marshmallows and binge-watch your favorite show or movie.
I like how it feels as if you are actually in the movie or show, and next thing you know, you are three seasons into a show at 3 a.m. Watching Netflix is a great pastime for introverts like myself because you get to spend time with yourself.
Netflix can also be good background noise for when things are quiet at home. Some people work better while watching something because it provides comfort, especially when doing homework or if you just want to sit down on your phone.
Watching Netflix is a pastime I like doing after a tiring day or week. It gives me comfort to watch a show or a movie in my free time, and it is nice to spend time with my family on the weekends.
It is a little bit harder to catch up with my favorite shows on the weekdays because I tend to procrastinate on my schoolwork. If you ever have free time, I would recommend watching Netflix.
