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!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
