On November 12th, Disney has launched their new streaming service, Disney plus, and just by the results, many seems to love this new site.

As of November 12th, 10 Million people subscribed to Disney plus and the numbers kept on rising till this day. 

With endless content in the provider, more than 500 movies are inputted into the site, which includes many classics such as Snow White, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast and more and many of modern movies as well. This site also have included a multitude of many Disney’s original series, going all the way back from the early 2000s, like That’s So Raven, Wizards of Waverly Place, Hannah Montana, and more. Plus, they have also implemented their own new series, such as the Mandalorian (which is connected with Star Wars). 

Since Disney Plus also have content from Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographics, this attracts many different demographics and they are able to watch whatever they please. 

Now that Disney Plus is in the scene, major competition stirs within the streaming world, which includes Amazon Prime Videos, HBO GO, and on top: Netflix. With Netflix making new deals such as making a collaboration with Nickelodeon to produce various of their shows, Disney and Nickelodeon once again butt heads as to who should take the top spot.

As many students are satisfied with the nostalgic feeling from both Disney and Nickelodeon, they share their response to matter of the rivalry between Disney Plus and Netflix. 

“I think that Netflix has a lot more going for them than Disney. It may draw away a few people to watch a few Disney movies, you know on Netflix, but in the long run, I don’t think that Netflix should have much to worry about regarding Disney Plus. ”- Damon Fletcher

Others say otherwise,

“I think I feel bad for Netflix because I just feel that Disney owns a lot, it’s a huge conglomerate, so they have a lot more to offer right now I think than Netflix does.” – Ivanelis Fletcher

And some are in the middle

“Either people have Netflix or Disney Plus now. They are like watching monopolies like Disney get ESPN, Netflix gets a deal with Nickelodeon. Like it’s just crazy how they are just taking over on what people watch on regular TV anymore.”- Matthew Van Ihsem

With this new craze, Disney Plus is releasing more content and more students are subscribing. 

OSWEGO, NY – Last Friday was the final day of the event by Enactus at Oswego called Launch It. It’s an entrepreneur event where students take their idea for a product they can sell and pitch it to other people who work or run their own business. 

Students give those judges the rundown of what the product is, along with the finances, profits and marketing strategies that would give their idea as much success as possible. 

This event included not only prize money to the winner to invest in their product, but it also featured an opening concert by Feyde, a R&B artist. 

Over a dozen students gave insightful ideas that may very well have tons of potential. The enthusiasm from the students was fantastic as the team at Enactus stated, was the most successful year they’ve had so far.

OSWEGO, NY— Last week, SUNY Oswego students were ambushed with mountains worth of snow! Many would be surprised by the outcome of this week, being that there is little to no snow at all.

Instead of going out with friends, students like Breanna Walker preferred to stay inside and keep warm. She also gave us some advice on how to dress if students do decide to out for the weekend. 

“The key to it is, I stay inside, and if I do go outside I bundle up. I wear two pairs of pants, my sweater and coat, and my snow boots.” 

Despite their being such a drastic weather change, the wind chills were still very high. If students feel that they are getting sick, then they have the opportunity to go to Hewitt Union, where Mary Walker Health Center is located. They can also go to the Artville Store where they have medicine, along with cough syrup and cough drops. 

“Drink tea and stay warm.” Breanna Walker said. “Make sure not to get other people sick.” 

Some are excited to see the snow being that we’re a few weeks closer to Christmas break! Others are not looking forward to the continuous amounts of snow, due to transportation reasons.
