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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
