I Am Addicted To My Phone, And It's A Problem

I might be running late, I might be awake two hours early, either way, I check my phone.

I wake up in the morning and, like clockwork, I check my phone.

I might be running late, I might be awake two hours early. Either way, I check my phone.

I proceed to rustle the covers off of my body—I am starting to get warm. All of this web surfing has me a bit hot. I should shower. I jump up or it just really won’t happen. I get undressed and start the water. I check my phone while the water warms up. I guess I am warming up my phone addiction for the day, too.

I shower, listening to music the entire time. I finish, exit, and don my clothes. I climb back into bed. After all of that work, I deserve a break. So, I check my phone again. Not much has changed. It's 9 a.m. and not a lot of action.

I go do my make up, listening to music and filtering through what look I want to go with today before settling again on the usual. I grab my keys, Mac, Apple watch, iPhone, iPad and rush out the door. A girl can never have too many electronics.

I am now at school, barely in time for my 10:40 a.m. class. It’s a design class where we are mostly on our computers, so guess what I am doing? I am surfing the web.

I get out of that class, and I have a two-hour break until my next one. Whatever shall I do? Play on my phone? You bet. It's 1:30 p.m., and I roll into my other class. Eh, PowerPoint slides are online. I need some phone time. So, I sift between my phone and the lecture, barely keeping up with either.

My next class is 15 minutes after, barely enough time for a potty break and grabbing a snack. I plop into my seat. Ah, a two-hour lecture on the history of film? Not in my major. Let me whip out the trusty ol’ phone.

I get out of class, race home to eat dinner, it's now 5:30 p.m. and I drop my happy self back into bed where I will stay glued to homework and Netflix for the rest of the night.

Guess what I fall asleep with clinging to in my hands? My phone.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
