Let’s be honest: We were all left heartbroken when the last episode of “Breaking Bad” aired and we realized that we actually had to accept a reality other than the one Vince Gilligan created for us. If you’re part of the “I’ve never seen an episode of ‘Breaking Bad’ ” club, we’re assuming you already have your life together. However, if you’re still feeling lost without your favorite show, we at The Daily Clog are here to show you a few ways to overcome the gaping hole that “Breaking Bad” left.
Get off the Internet. The Internet is a hotbed of grieving individuals posting pictures like this:
Questioning the meaning of life:
Or taking a more philanthropic approach to their grief:
Our advice? Stay as far away from the madness as possible and think happy thoughts. Embrace campus life:
If your inner self has been cooped up in the fetal position since the finale, agonizing over what actually happened to Jesse Pinkman, it’s time to leave the house and immerse yourself in Berkeley student life. Go out into the real world. Talk to your roommate, whom you usually ignore while the show’s on. Go to a social event on campus. Get off the Internet and stop crying with people on Tumblr. It will just be easier that way.
Do some work:
What’s that thing we usually do on Sundays? Ah, homework. Now that our Sunday evenings are essentially meaningless, it’s as good a time as any to replace the time that was usually allotted to “Breaking Bad” to scholarly thing, such as reading and research. We’re sure bSpace has been eagerly awaiting your return.
Get invested in a new TV show:
So with “Breaking Bad” finished, what’s the best thing to do? Find a replacement! And what show would be better suited to Cal students than one that is actually set in Berkeley? NBC’s “Parenthood” is not only close to home, but the fact that one of the main characters is actually going to Cal means it’s somewhat relevant and can make us feel a little better about wasting our productivity on watching the lives of fictional characters.
And if all else fails? Just watch reruns with a tub of ice cream and some tissues.
