What The Netflix Series You’re Binge Watching Says About You

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Utah chapter.

Netflix has undoubtedly become every collegiette’s best friend. There are so many great characters to obsess over that you often have to remind yourself that Netflix is NOT real life. Whether you’re watching a series for the first time or you’re in the middle of round four, whatever your watching says a lot about you.

New Girl: You need a show that’s lighthearted and easy to watch. Your last binge hit you hard and you aren’t emotionally stable enough to handle a new set of characters that might die or break up every 4 episodes.

Grey’s Anatomy: You are feeling all of the emotions right now, literally every one of them. You are so deeply emotionally invested in everything that’s happening that you are 90% convinced that you are actually Meredith Grey. Or you are taking Anatomy this semester and this was the best study guide you could find.

The Office: You’re having anxiety about graduating and getting a real job. You’ve decided to spend all of your time “studying” proper workforce etiquette in hopes of finding the best job in America.

Gilmore Girls: The holidays left you a little nostalgic and to feed your fix you’re staying in on Friday nights, eating frozen pizza, and finding any excuse possible to text all of your female family members.

Friday Night Lights: You’ve had a rough couple of months. You’re lost; you don’t know what you’re doing with your life or how you’re going to survive the semester ahead of you. That’s nothing Coach and Tami Taylor can’t fix. The life lessons you’ve learned from arguably the best parents on TV are really speaking to you right now. You are seriously dreading the day this binge comes to an end.

Friends: You only care about six people right now. Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Ross, and Chandler. They are you’re best friends. You laugh together, cry together, they’re always there for you. You often have to remind yourself that they are not actually your friends in real life. You also desperately want to live in New York and spend every hour sipping out of mismatched cups with your squad.

Gossip Girl: You love shopping so much it might as well be your major. Unfortunately, Nordstrom doesn’t accept financial aide. Instead, you’ve settled for sitting back and pretending like you have a closet from the Upper East Side. 

Collegiettes, no matter what show you are currently obsessed over and probably having dreams about, don’t forget…these shows might not stay on Netflix for forever so Binge On. 

Taylor Swift isn't a major so I guess Human Development and Family Studies will have to do. All I want in life is for T - Swift to know that we are BFF's, a closet full of Kate Spade, and an endless supply of Chick-Fil-A. Until I find a magic genie to grant my three wishes I'll stick with working for a non-profit, doing a ridiclious amount of online shopping, and being obsessed with my sorority.
