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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
