The One Where Kailyn Watches Friends

I have never been very good at creating habits.  Good ones or bad ones, it is next to impossible for me to intentionally incorporate anything into my daily or weekly routine.  I really have to work at it.  I suppose that's why blogging has been quite sporadic for me.  

One habit that was easily and quite unintentionally created was my tendency to turn to netflix in times of stress and boredom.  Netflix is my go-to for boredom busters.  One of my favorite things to do is find a TV show and binge-watch the entire thing in quick bursts.  I have been known to finish a 6 season show in about three months, all while keeping up with my studies.  I don't mean to brag, but I find myself quite talented.  

F.R.E.I.N.D.S. is one of those TV shows everyone has seen.  There are quintessential jokes and references that have incorporated themselves into cultural knowledge.  People constantly compare their own lives to their favorite scene or relationships.  I have heard a lot about smelly cat, a turkey dance, Chandler's unknown job, and spudnik, but I honestly have little concept of what all these things actually refer to.  

Yes.  I, Kailyn, have never seen Friends.  

Well, I will admit that I have seen around 10 episodes because my Roomie loves the show and watched episodes on DVD before bed our sophomore year.  But I had to make her explain a lot and the character arcs never quite made sense.  

Now that Netflix has all of friends online, however, and my parents let me watch shows on their account, I have decided to embark on a large endeavor.  To blog my first official viewing of Friends.  To share my discovery of the TV show with the internet.  

Why?  Because I thought it might be fun.  And I know so many of my friends love the show, it is easier to keep them all up to date at once. 

I am going to try and include 2-3 episodes per post, starting with one post a week.  We will see how this goes.  

So without further ado, I present:

Kailyn Watches Friends! (A Semi-Regular Series)
