Balancing fandom with real-world duties is no easy task. Last week, I was deep into rewatching Stranger Things when I recalled I had an assignment due the next morning. I had to pause (literally) and hustle for assignment help simply to meet the deadline. It's incredible how we can spend hours analyzing character arcs or narrative twists, but organizing an article feels like fighting the Mind Flayer. Has anyone ever had to drag themselves out of a fandom rabbit hole to face reality? How do you balance both without losing your mind—or your grades?
