Do you have a spare 11 hours lying around in your schedule? Could those hours be filled with a binge-a-thon of the extended editions of the original Lord of the Rings series? We all know that there's nothing more comforting than the squeals of oruk hai and orcs as they get skewered by the gallant foes we know and love. We all played pretend that we could wield the bow of a blonde, effeminate acrobatic archer, and our childhood self dreamed of the possibility of having the magnificently lush beard of our favorite red-haired dwarf.

Rewatching the movies rehashes our love for all of the realms of Middle Earth, while also reigniting the dizzying crush we had on Aragorn (son of Arathorn).

Why stop there? If you've finished all the LOTR movies, there are a handful of books, a spin-off saga, a show, and a couple of million fan fiction pieces to enjoy in the world of Lord of the Rings. So drop every responsibility on your plate, leave that pile of laundry in the corner, and grow roots on the couch after all of this content. Maybe take it slow and start with a Hobbit's helping of LOTR memes that will pair nicely with fig jelly toast, a long-stemmed tobacco pipe, and the One ring of power.
