Netflix. This beautiful name is something that I fell in love with since the first day I arrived to the United States. This Network has slowly become the thing that I look forward to spending time with on the weekend or in my spare time. Don’t mix me up with some one who is enclosed on him self and does not have a social life. I am a social person that loves spending time with friends. However, my love to movies, TV episodes, and everything that is displayed on the small screen is an addiction that I am sinking more and more into. Back in Kuwait, where there is nothing worth watching on TV, I spent literally hundred if not thousands of dollars buying or renting movies and episodes from ITunes and Amazon. Nevertheless, subscribing to Netflix was the best thing that I have done for Entertainment. I still remember that when I first arrived to the United States, and when my friend introduced me to Netflix, I subscribed on it even before getting Wi-Fi for my apartment. I first tried the network when I was staying in my friend’s apartment until I got my own place. He showed me how to use it, to entertain my self while he was in college. At first I had a hard time using it, because we had connected it to his PS3, but what I got a grip and knew what I was doing, my friend Alex had a difficult time getting me off the couch and out the apartment to finish my work at the University and at my complex. After getting my own apartment, settling down, and getting my 52-inch flat screen, I was so into Netflix that I would spend my whole day after school laying down in front of the TV. Without any exaggeration, in my first week of having Netflix in my apartment I finished watching the whole four seasons of “Prison Break” in less than five days, with a total of 82 episodes. As I said, I was addicted!! Throughout my 2 years in the U.S. I managed to complete watching the following TV series: Prison Break, Walking Dead, Nip Tuck, Grey's Anatomy, Blue Mountain High, Friday Night Lights, Breaking Bad, Dexter, Malcolm In The Middle, Lost, and a couple of more TV Dramas. I also watched most of the movies on Netflix that I am now thinking about getting cable. As a full time student I spend most of my weekdays in my apartment, having friends over, ordering pizza, and surfing Netflix. To be honest, whenever I go back to Kuwait in holidays, I really miss spending time on Netflix Late at night before sleeping. Nowadays, as I am taking more serious classes, I am abandoning my addiction bit by bit. I must also say that English 101 is one of the main reasons that my poor old streaming media network is feeling left out. By the way I am writing this post while watching the first episode of  “House” on… NETFLIX. Thank you Reed Hastings.
