Assignment 5- Ben

I watch TV to pass the time. Many of the times the TV is on, it is purely for white noise, as I find it more soothing and easy to do other tasks, than in complete silence. Such as with my homework, I find myself looking for a distraction more when I work in complete silence, than when I am either listening to music, or watching TV. I don't like to watch TV super late though, because if I do get into a program, it keeps me up all night. I used to watch Netflix at night to "help" me go to sleep, but it only ended up keeping me up at least an hour more per night, and when I finally decided to turn off Netflix at night, I find myself getting a whole lot more sleep at night and I wake up feeling so much better than I used to. My favorite tv shows to watch for white noise are: Family Guy, The Office, and Parks and Rec. My favorite TV show to actually watch right now is the Menendez Trials.

I think that it is very sad to say that I couldn't name a Nobel Prize winner from the past decade off the top of my head. I also couldn't tell you which award the Emmys are off the top of my head either, which is also probably pretty embarrassing, but I do believe it is a bad thing that people pay so much attention to these award shows, when these Nobel Prize winners, are literally changing the world for the better, and making strides to make the world a better place, when many people can argue for most shows, can make the world a worse place.
