4 Ways to Cut Cable Out of Your Life

In the craziness of moving out, you have so many decisions to make. I’m constantly trying to find ways to cut costs. So when I moved out I knew pretty much off the bat that one of the bills I could cut out was the cable bill. With the help of the internet, so much is possible.

1. Netflix.

I use my mom’s Netflix, but you could totally split the cost with up to 4 other people and have access to so many films and shows. The downside: for the cheap package, only two “screens” can be watching at the same time.

2. Hulu.

The best way I’ve come up with keeping up with current shows has become Hulu. I caught a deal for $5.99 a month. Generally, it’s $7.99 a month. But if you’re living somewhere that doesn’t even get local channels **cough, looking at you New Hampshire** this is a great alternative to cable. The downside: you have to wait til the following day to watch your shows.
3. Amazon Prime.

With Amazon Prime, you get a bunch of shows as well as free shipping from Amazon! It’s a win, win! The downside: you pay for it once a year.

4. HBO Now.

I haven’t personally tested this, but my plan is to get HBO Now when “Game of Thrones” comes back…. And probably only while “Game of Thrones” is back.

The best part is you can watch these all on laptops, tablets, and with Rokus and Fire Sticks. It can be so cheap to watch the shows you love!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
