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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
