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!

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
