16 Reasons Your College Digs Need The Best Internet In Town

The Internet is amazing. Our lives basically revolve around how fast we can get something done and whether or not your roommate will crash it playing Candy Crush during your cat video marathon. Avoid these CATastrophies with Charter.

1. You can have 100 tabs open and running smoothly in Chrome at the same time.

You can check out slides from class, watch what shenanigans Hannah Horvath gets up to on Girls and figure out how to make dinner (sometimes the instructions on the box don’t cover EVERYTHING). Anything less than 60 Mbps and your tab-surfing lifestyle becomes pure misery.

2. Your team is only playing on WatchESPN? How are you going to watch those crucial final seconds?!?

Comfortably in your own bedroom without your annoying third roommate you found on Craigslist. That’s how. Did he just take that to the house?! #PICK6

3. The laundry room doesn’t have to be the doldrums.

Do your laundry and listen to a podcast (Maybe Freakonomics?)…or a lecture on iTunes U without using all of the precious data on your phone.

4. You were a weekend warrior and caught up on all of the popular shows.

The time to shine and show off all of your fresh references is now, even while finishing the last PLL episode and putting finishing touches your new Tumblr featuring every time Justin Bieber looked like Miley Cyrus (which you’re starting to realize might be all of the time).

5. You made it through the phone interview and background check. Now the internship opportunity of your dreams rests on a videoconference.

Heaven forbid the video freezes while you're talking, leaving those on the other end to stare at the most unflattering screenshot of your face possible for an extensive period of time. How is it that normal facial expressions can make you look like a crazy person when paused at the right moment!? It's seriously an anomaly.

6. Sitting in a classroom never looked so good.

Choies, Forever 21, Gilt. Be ready right when the deals start pouring in so you can look good while you study for those three different tests you have on the same day. Seriously, did your teachers scheme this just to mess with you on your first week back? A syllabus test, really?! Yeah. This teacher means business. Which is why you just bought that power suit for ½ the price.

7. Already thinking about graduating and getting that dream job?

Make that LinkedIn profile, search for those jobs, and you know…there’s that new personality quiz everyone’s doing that will only take a minute. It’s important for you to know which Friends character you are. Don’t let a bunk Internet connection stall the GIF that your personality most identifies with! This is for your FUTURE JOB. It might (nay, WILL) be in the interview. And you might (nay, WILL) nail it. Job search? Check. Learn more about yourself? Check. All at the same time.

8. Friends coming over tonight? In the next hour!?

Seamlessly test out playlists on Spotify while sending those last minute emails to your professors and your one aunt that you meant to reply to last week, all before the weekend begins. Oh, and don’t forget to post about how great this night is about to be, because without having the guilt of unsent emails weighing on your shoulders it’s bound to be LEGEN--wait for it… DARY! Wait, this is 60 Mpbs we’re talking about here. LEGENDARY!

9. 50-page research paper due tomorrow and haven’t researched anything?

giphy.com

Let the internet do its thing and back up your well thought-out points that you’ve really had since last week but just never wrote down because, like, you were busy, okay?! All while your roommate plays Titan Fall and trolls those n00bs without interruption.

10. Everything is set. You have the perfect classes at the perfect times with the perfect professors to get the perfect GPA and everything is just perfect…

giphy.com

...Until you see that rainbow wheel of death waiting for the page to load. Faster Internet means your perfect semester stays perfect. Waiting for pages to load is so Windows 2002. Send that wheel of death packing with Charter Spectrum’s blazing fast 60 Mbps!

11. Buffering. Buffering. Buffering. The word you never want to see while trying to watch online lectures the night before an exam.

Don’t let sharing bandwidth with your roommate while they obnoxiously Skype with their long-distance BF/GF disrupt your cram sesh!

12. Let’s say Kanye, Jay-Z, Queen B, JT and Nelly (yes, Nelly. Look, he’s still got it. I don’t care what you say) have a one night only concert coming to your campus. Tickets go on sale in ONE HOUR.

giphy.com

Are you going to be worrying about if that page will refresh in time because your roommate is playing NBA2K14 or are you going to be worrying about what to wear and how to finagle backstage passes?? A concert from Yeezus is on the line here, people!

13. Multitasking should be your middle name.

giphy.com

You’re on Twitter while watching the news and listening to podcasts while cleaning your room. With the monster amount of bandwidth Charter Spectrum provides you, you can set up your own digital situation room – streaming Last Week With John Oliver via HBO GO on your tablet, taking that timed online quiz for your awful macroeconomics class on your laptop, downloading the latest John Grisham on your Kindle and messaging your friends about tonight’s plans from GroupMe on your phone all at the same time.

14. School might have just started, but midterms aren’t too far off. Which means it’s primetime for pizza time.

giphy.com

You can’t go out to eat AND study. Keep that pizza order tracking up so you can keep studying for your chem final and know when your delivery guy named Lance will arrive.

15. Your group project is due by the end of the day. You need to download everyone’s files and you need them NOW.

giphy.com

Who made you the organizer of this project? You did. Because you’re the organized one, right? RIGHT?!?

16. You have to make three discussion questions and answer FOUR of your classmates while the season finale of GoT is on AND your team is trying to clinch a spot in the World Series?

giphy.com

Get on your Blackboard site and start posting. You can do all three. Just don’t post any spoilers for your friends who can’t do it all like you can. With great Internet comes great responsibility.
