Hello – hello my adorable little faces. Today my article will not be about a movie, a tv series, a tv couple or something like that. I will talk to you about a huge problem that every person has to deal with more than once every year. The hiatus.

Most of the tv series begin their seasons in fall, most of the times it’s early in October, until December. Then, we have the first time that hiatus struck. It’s called “winter finale” or “mid-season finale”. The second time that we have hiatus is during on Spring break ( aka Easter holidays ) and the last one and the biggest one, during summer vacation. Also, sometimes, when it’s necessary the networks do small hiatus of two or three weeks because of some difficulties on the production or because they have to air something that it wasn’t originally planned to do. It’s technically a holiday break so the casts and crews can rest and spend time with their loved ones… All this is great and I get it, but the result is that we, that we don’t work on tv we are with nothing to watch. Or this is not right?

I know that it’s painful when you can’t watch your favourite tv series for some time. It always gets my nerves, especially when something really important happened in the last episode before the hiatus. Let’s see the advantages though.

We have the luxury to actually value the series, to really miss it and can’t wait to see what’s next. We can talk with other fans about what already happened on the episodes until the hiatus and try to guess some possible spoilers for the next ones. We have some free time to do that “catch up” on that show that we started last year on the previous hiatus but never finished it. We can check out what other shows are out there and maybe to find something new to be obsessed with.

We can take a hiatus from tv shows as well and feel this gap with books. It would be a great opportunity to read more. To go out and find new places to spend time with our friends or by ourselves. We can go for walks and maybe find the perfect spot to read. We can start a new hobby… Writing, sketching or photography are really cool skills. We can start working out or not.

We can continue or start a lot of new things. No matter what we will do this hiatus, I’m sure that we will do it great and before we even noticed it our favourite show(s) will be back and we will be able to keep being passionate about them.

Tell me what you’ll do this hiatus on the comments below or on my facebook page. Until next time…
