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!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
