Assignment 5- Abby Shadwick

I watch TV for a number of reasons. Mostly, to get my mind off of other tasks. Also, I tend to become invested in characters (sometimes unhealthily) and have fun watching them live their lives, thrive, and make mistakes. I am very people and feeling oriented. But being surprised is actually my favorite sensation. TV is absolutely perfect for this reason. The Bachelorette and Bachelor are my guilty pleasures for this reason. The drama and surprise are the perfect amount of what I need to keep me sucked in. I would argue that the show is even an educational experience, because that is definitely not how you find love. The Office and Parks and Recreation keep me laughing, and it is in those shows that I really get to know the characters. My favorite character's sayings and expressions settle into my brain, and I often quote and imitate them. Those two shows are also a way for me to bond with my two of my close friends, Katherine and Beppy. We keep each other laughing, often through Office quotes and memes. If I'm being honest here.
