So when I finally stopped watching 90210 (don't judge me) or Pretty Little Liars (don't judge me) or The Bratz Movie (ok you can judge me on that one) that's when I finally realised enough is enough. Do not panic. I did not do anything rash such as cancel Netflix. I'm not crazy. But I did realise that binge watching crappy American cheesy af TV was frying my brain and not doing me any favours.
It turns out actually being productive has a positive affect on your mood (who knew) i.e. actually completing my assigned reading before my lecture and hoovering the popcorn off the living room floor from last Thursday fortnight actually made me happy (???)... weird right?!
Also, clearly my New Year's Resolutions haven't been going too well. Starting from no. 1, I have not written on this blog since January...JANUARY...as in the month of which the resolution begun. Unfortunately this was due to another case of the lazy butt syndrome. But I'm back (8 months later) and better than ever. There's no stopping me this time... oooh a new PLL trailer...
SO what I'm trying to say is
lazy = sad
productive = happy
Other things I have recently discovered about the meaning of life:
1. sitting in bed = sleep
2. sitting at desk = work
3. 90210 can take over your life
4. taking 'Netflix and chill' literally leads to you drooling on your own pillow and crying about the fact you just drooled on your pillow
5. drinking half a bottle of wine in front of the TV by yourself makes you feel like Bridget Jones in the opening scene of Bridget Jones Diary... ALL BY MYSELFFFFFFFF
6. I wrote this instead of doing my assigned reading which was a bad idea
p.s. yes, Netflix, I'm still watching
