TV Addict

Oftentimes I have really good weeks. This was one of them. I was busy, as per usual, but I had a lot of time to spend with friends: doing nothing and just chillin. One of the best things I can do to relax is to just sit back and watch TV. Ask any of my staff, friends, family, and they will totally vouch for me.

My television addiction (in the past) had resulted in my social life taking a hit, but I’ve bounced back, with the help of interventions and the invention of www.hulu.com. From How I Met Your Mother, to Scrubs, to House, to Heroes, to Lost and to my newest addiction: Fringe, I am finding myself thinking how my life would be the best sitcom ever. From the dysfunctional situations I put myself in, and the unrealistic expectations I have for myself, I can see my life portrayed on any network (but probably the CW thanks to the level of drama). Living the lifestyle I do in the Residence Halls, I am able to have a rotating cast of guest stars and with the die-hard series regulars who I live with, the good times never would stop. We could hit 100 episodes in no time.

Television, though not the best habit, has really helped me. I know that no matter how many times Ross and Rachel fight, they will become stronger for it, and no matter how confusing the numbers in Lost are, they will eventually make sense (I hope…). That is to say, my addictive personality has become attached to characters, and people. It may seem as a contrast: a TV addict and a people person, but I fit the bill. I don’t always want to be personable, but I know that my interactions (in addition to making some priceless moments for the invisible cameras) will help me to grow and better myself and my relationships.

I guess it all can come back to a moral, just like a good episode of Grey’s.
