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!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
