My parents would never have a Netflix account or a Hulu account, and when they found out I was on my best friend's account, they laughed and said "Well, as long as you do your job and don't get too distracted, have fun. About a week or two after using Netflix, my friends noticed that I was kind of glued to watching Netflix and I got stuck on this British TV series called Skins and I would talk about it incessantly or this other show called Dawson's Creek, and it would be part of my daily routine watching these shows and talking about them, tweeting about them, fueled my love of movies and researching what types of movies I needed to watch and which ones. actors were in which movie. After this experiment I noticed that I don't need to talk about the movies or TV shows I watch and I don't have to be so obsessed with them and I found that my friends don't get so angry if I talk about them. shows that they don't look. I've found that by not watching Netflix as much, I've had more time to talk to my family on the phone and tell them about my week or see how their week went. There was this period where I didn't contact them for a while and my mother got worried. I feel like abstaining from this has helped me make time for the people who matter in my life, not just fictional characters
