Binge-watching - Kingdom of Knuffel

I'm binge-watching the kdrama Legend of the Blue Sea.

One of my college mates wrote a paper after doing a survey in our college, about how much people binge-watch, and found that a lot of people do even though they have crazy amounts of college work.

I find that I binge-watch exactly when I'm buried under a mountain of homework. Actually, I probably do it because I have so much work. It's more complicated than procrastination. It's a combination of being so stressed and of feeling like it is when you try to get started that you actually face it and get crushed.

That's harder, to my mind. That's an ongoing, you have to live with it forever thing, instead of one single moment that's the exception instead of the rule.

I've binge-watched several anime series.
I did it a few weeks ago. I watched them all in one sitting.

I'm the type of person that rarely finishes things, so if I want or need to do something, I need to do it immediately.

A world of fragile things
Look for me in the white forest
Hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)
I know you hear me,
I can taste it in your tears."

Ah, I'm like that with novels. I need to finish reading fast.

I certainly enjoy shows a lot better if I binge-watch them, though I don't have to binge-watch them to finish them. It feels more immersive

I do a ton of binge watching. It's my favorite kind. I don't really like watching shows if I can just watch one at a time.

And it is a nice bit of stress relief. Dealing with a fictional character's drama rather than my own. lol.

makes sense! i tend to go off on rants on twitter when i have some impending thing i need to get done. my procrastination habit is somewhat better than it used to be- i used to be so bad i just could never turn anything in on time, lmao. i'm such a horrible student.

i don't binge watch things though. probably because i don't really watch many things to begin with?

binge-reading is more my style, where all I do for a few days is read all the books in a series...

I mostly binge watch when I feel depressed and can't do much more than sit and stare at something for 16 hours a day.

A few summers ago when I was feeling particularly terrible, I spent the entire three months lying on the couch watching Law and Order. Made it through all 20 seasons.

I'm feeling a minor binge coming on, just because I'm so exhausted from school and this is the last summer I'll have off for 5 years at least. Think I'll do as much of the Star Trek franchise straight through as I can in 3 months.

Might actually binge the books too. I just like reading all of things. Completing the set, even if parts of it are really bleh.
