Five Signs You're Addicted to Your Phone

For most of us, the internet is a part of every day life. We can't go five minutes without checking our Instagram or replying to text messages. It's these reasons that have me thinking we may all be addicted to our phone. Below are five signs that might make this true.

1. Wifi

As soon as you reach your destination, whether it be a restaurant or our a friend's house, wifi is the first thing on your mind. You've got to save that data for the trip home!

2. Always on that Phone

Parents, grandparents, you name it, they're all telling you that you're "always on that phone." You rolly our eyes and disagree, but is what they're saying really that far from the truth?

3. Meals

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, or any type of sit down meal, the one thing every person has in common at the table is their phone in their hand. Eating is a time for socializing while socializing with other people via cell phone it seems.

4. Restricted Zones

School, work, or any place that phones aren't allowed, are difficult places for you. The urge to check your phone is so strong in these places. Sure no one has tried to contact you, but the paranoia that someone has really gets to you.

5. Social Media

Social media is usually the reason you are on your phone. if you're not scrolling through social media at the moment, you're probably thinking about how you need to check it.

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.

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.
