Netflix Has Changed The Game

It’s happening! Probably the biggest news break since Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston broke up or sliced bread was invented. Yes! I’m talking about Netflix allowing you to download shows and movies so you can watch Netflix anytime and anywhere.

If you are familiar with the music streaming site, Spotify, you may be used to downloading your playlists so when you don’t have Wi-Fi, you’re able to listen to your music without using your data or the Internet. Netflix has adopted this philosophy and now made it even harder to get things accomplished.

Netflix created the ‘download and go’ feature for commuters who are stuck on the subway and can’t connect to outside internet, or people on planes who don’t want to spend $29.99 for 30 minutes of Wi-Fi. You no longer need a suitable Internet connection to binge watch Stranger Things, but instead, just click the download button and you’re good to go. Anywhere you may go, as long as the movie or TV show is downloaded, you can watch. All you need to do is download the newest version of the Netflix app.

There are a few kinks that Netflix has to work out, though, one of the biggest issues being the selection of material that is available to be downloaded. Some shows that are affiliated with big networks like NBC or TBS may not be available to download, while other shows on the network are. It just all depends on how popular the show is! Another issue is that only a certain amount of shows can be downloaded at a time. After the download queue is full, you’ll have to delete some of the downloaded shows you have already watched or don’t want anymore.

All in all, Netflix is stepping their game up and changing the game for college students worldwide. People have the power to watch Netflix 24/7 now without making their cell phone bill seven digits. Binge watchers of the world, start procrastinating!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
