With October winding down and November soon to be upon us, it’s safe to say that the semester is flying by. We’re over halfway done, which might be either a source of relief to you or a harsh reality check. Either way, here’s some advice to keep in mind for the coming weeks.
The era of cheap streaming and easy convenience is all but gone. For the sake of your wallet and maybe your sanity, it’s probably best to look for new ways to watch your favorite shows — because if these past months in the entertainment industry have shown us anything, it’s that Hollywood will do whatever it takes to make a cheap buck.
