Bored With Real Life

     So I'm the loser who watches way too much TV and takes it all way too seriously, but then again that's what TV is for, right?  It's there for you to lose yourself in, to escape the pain and stress and drama of everyday life and to live in someone else's for a bit.  It's the same idea as a book except it doesn't give you much room for imagination (which is fine).  So anyways, I was just thinking of this popular show Greek that used to be on ABC Family; it didn't get cancelled, it didn't only go on for a season or two, it went on for four years and came to end.  Well for the longest time I was convinced that Greek was one trend I could pass on; turns out I was wrong.  I came into the show a couple episodes into the final season because I decided to stay on the channel after the previous show.  I don't know why and I don't know how exactly, but within that one hour I was captivated.  The show had two months left before it all ended, I could have easily just been fine with not watching it ever again or just starting from there.  For the next three weeks, after I had watched a couple of the ongoing episodes, I spent every second of my free time on Hulu, catching up on the love triangles, the backstabbing, the quest for power, everything.  I took it as a sign that I was meant to fall in love with this show when I saw that Hulu had every single episode (which is a rare thing for the site).  Greek let me escape school and completely immerse myself into this fantasy, it let me be sad when Cappy and Casey broke up, it let me be angry when Frannie tried to outdo ZBZ, it made me long for Even and Cappy to both end up happy, but most of all, it let me forget about everything.  When a show like that comes around you should consider yourself lucky to have been a part of it; it doesn't happen every day.  So even though I'm the loser who dedicates way too much time to TV shows, I wouldn't want it any other way.
