10 Stages of Falling in Love (With a TV Show)

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at JMU chapter.
  1. You hear about a new show

You think, “Hm, my roommate’s friend’s sister mentioned this show on Facebook. I guess I’ll check it out; why not?!”
 

  1. From the first episode, you’re hooked

You even thought the pilot was good, now that’s saying something.

  1. You start ignoring your responsibilities

Forget showering, homework, and sleeping, you have more important things to do!

  1. You start making up excuses to not do social things

“No I can’t go out, I have, um, things to do!”

  1. You watch every episode

And you feel so proud of yourself.

  1. Until you realize you’ve watched every episode

NOW WHAT???!!!!

  1. So you watch every episode again

And it’s even better the second time around!

  1. You follow the cast on all forms of social media

It’s like they’re your friends!!

  1. You force all of your real life friends to watch too

Just trust me, okay? (You need someone to talk about it with!)

  1. Watch another show and repeat

Ah, the endless cycle.
