Summer.<\/p>\n<p>The time where you get a break from all the studying for classes and taking exams (unless you have a summer class, then good luck to you!) It\u2019s also the time of year where you finally have time to sit down, relax, and enjoy your favorite shows that you\u2019ve neglected all year long. Which then brings us to the question that every college student has asked themselves for ages\u2026 are you Team Hulu or Team Netflix?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As an experienced user of both, it can be hard to choose as they both have their redeeming qualities. Hulu has the most current shows, you can watch the Bachelor literally the day after it premieres on TV. It\u2019s basically like having a DVR but for the low price of $7.99 per month. It even has pretty current movies to watch. But there is one enormous downfall to Hulu, and that is the constant interrupting commercials. Personally, they don\u2019t bother me too much since it gives you time to take a quick bathroom\/snack break in the middle of the show. Also, if you want to throw down a few more dollars, you can buy the commercial free plan.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And then there\u2019s the OG binge watching service: Netflix<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Netflix has hundreds of movie and TV show options for the same price as Hulu. It also has TV shows with every season available to watch instantly without commercials. Hulu doesn\u2019t always have multiple season of shows available, only the most current one. Netflix also allows you to create individual accounts, that way your mom won\u2019t have to see how many episodes into <em>Shameless<\/em> you are. The plan prices increase if you want to have multiple people watching at a time on the same account or you want HD. Hulu doesn\u2019t have this option and says officially that only one person can watch at a time. But I\u2019ve tried and found that you can have more than one person watching most of the time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So which really is the best streaming service??<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It depends on your type of viewing. If you want to binge watch an entire show and just chill, Netflix is right for you. But if you want to stay up to date with the latest shows, Hulu will do the trick. If you\u2019re staying in Whitewater all summer long without cable, I\u2019d suggest both.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s that time of year again.
