It has a better ring to it

To be honest, I'm surprised that most cable companies are still a thing.

I don't know most people that have any time in their day to watch live television.


Don't get me wrong; I enjoy watching TV. In fact, mostly because of Shonda Rimes, Fridays are pretty much dedicated to catch up on the many shows that I missed on Thursday. I love TV. But I can't remember the last time I've ever watched anything live.


People just don't have the time for the most part. And that's why Hulu, Netflix, and Prime Video are pretty much thriving. People, much like myself, like to watch things at their convenience.

And even more people, especially my mom, hate commercials enough to purposely miss things live just so they can watch it whenever they want to. As long as you have a stable wifi connection and something to watch it on, you have TV.


When you get cable, you have to get decide how many rooms you want cable in, get a cable box for every one of them and then pay the bill! That's so much trouble that you have to got through when you could honestly just buy a Roku and pretend that you have cable by watching the same exact things that everyone that has cable is already watching.

See? Problem solved.


Buy a Roku or whatever you need to make the device that you're watching on able to stream shows and you've got yourself some cable in a cheaper way than everyone else is paying for it.

So, sorry cable companies! Your time is basically up. You're really on useful during Superbowl time and even that's pushing it.


Remember when house phones where a common thing? And the few people that do still have on don't even answer it?

Yeah, cable...you're basically heading in that direction too. It's been nice knowing you.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
