Stop increasing prices.

It seems like at least once a year, Netflix increases it's prices yet again. Its prices reached an all-time high back in January of this year. Monthly memberships now range from $8.99 to $15.99 a month, depending on how many devices you want to allow to use the account at the same time. It makes it challenging to be able to afford one's own Netflix account. Allegedly, Netflix wants to crack down on password sharing in certain places to make sure only people living in the same household have a family account, as stated in their policy.

Offer student discounts and/or make memberships cheaper.

I have seen a variety of entertainment-related student discounts offered which can really help save precious money. I have seen discounts for Apple Music, Spotify Premium, and Hulu just to name a few. With monthly membership prices increasing at least yearly on average, and no means for a student to get a discount on said membership, it is amazing for a college-age person to be able to afford it.

Be available for download on Nintendo Switch.

Netflix is available to download on Apple and Android devices such as iPhones and iPads. The app is also available to use on your computer/laptop. You can even download it on many current and last generation gaming consoles such as Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Wii U. However, it has yet to be a thing for the Nintendo Switch. The Nintendo Wii and Wii U both have Netflix, yet the Switch does not yet. I mean The Switch has Hulu and YouTube, so hopefully, it will only be a matter of time before it makes its debut on the Nintendo Switch. It can get annoying going from one console to another simply because of switching which entertainment app I want to use.

Send notifications when stuff is leaving Netflix.

I get other different notifications such as recommended and new stuff to watch, but there has yet to be notifications as to when stuff leaves Netflix. It would be nice to not find out the hard way if and when tv shows and moves are no longer viewable on Netflix. I miss being able to watch stuff like Police Academy.

Please stop asking if we are still watching.

The chances are pretty good that I am still binge-watching whatever I have been watching for the last several episodes. Do not judge me. Seriously.

This article is not for the Almost Short Friends, i.e. the 5'3" and 5'4" Friends. No no, this is for the Actually Short Friends, i.e. the Barely Scraping 5'1" and shorter Short Friends.

11 Things All Call Center Workers Can Empathize With Better Than Anyone

Youtube

This semester I started my journey as a member of my University's Alumni Outreach Team. This means a lot of things, but primarily it means that I get to make phone calls to parents and alumni two nights a week to update contact information, collect things like business cards and volunteer hours, and even ask for money.

We get it — we're frustrated with you, too.

1. When they go out of their way to help you.

2. When they are cleaning up a section of the store.

3. When they deal with your children being heathens.

4. When they listen intently to your coupon problems.

5. When they ask you about opening a credit card or rewards card.

6. When you have to wait to get an item number or to talk to a manager.

It's not always fun being fun-sized!

1. Not wearing makeup is like stepping in a time machine

2. "Wow, how tall are you?!"

3. You don't realize how much you're craning your neck until you talk to someone as short as you.

4. Hugging your friends is just asking for a face full of boob for you and makeup on their shirt for them. Awkward.

5. You face retail discrimination

Details the INFJ may not have wanted to let you know about.

1. Their moral compass is the strongest bone in their bodies

2. They like getting a mild cold

3. They can only make one new friend at a time

4. They can only be leaders if they're experts on the topic

5. You know what too nice means: Fake

6. Their creativity comes out in strange bouts

7. They like heavily emotional stories

8. They experience a different kind of tired

9. Structure and routine is the name of the game

10. They are sensitive little creatures

11. They love to love

12. Yup, they’re the mom of the friend group

It's a daily struggle to make it on time, but everyone has those days where they just...don't.

1. "Oh, crap..."

2. "Is it worth it?"

3. "Why is this room so cold?"

4. "Does this professor grade attendance?"

5. "Can I wear my pajamas to class?"

6. "Do I have time to brush my teeth?"

6. "Shoot, I didn't finish my homework..."

7. "What's the weather supposed to be today?"

8. "Will the bus be on time?"

9. "How can I enter the room in the least obtrusive way possible?"

10. "WHY didn't anyone leave a seat on the end in case someone came late?!"

11. "Does this professor hate me now?"

12. "I'll be early next class..."

Getting hung up on is my super power.

1. The first call is the hardest

2. Getting hung up on before you say something

3. People don't live forever

4. It's exhausting

5. Getting hung up on the second you say where you're calling from

6. People will say anything to get you off the phone

7. Voicemails are weird
