A few weeks back, I moved into a new apartment. It was a great thing, and I absolutely love our new living situation, except now we are living without what has become a need in this day and age: The Internet. We haven't had the money to have WiFi installed in the new place, and not having it has taught me a few things. I am not saying I'm going to continue living without WiFi, but what I thought would be completely impossible, is now bearable.

At first, it was awful. I couldn't do any school work, I couldn't keep up with my social media, and I also couldn't mindlessly entertain myself. I found myself being incredibly bored and sleeping more. What on earth could I do without internet? I could read.

In the last two weeks I have finished a book I had been reading for months and then read an entirely new one. I have been reading whenever I have nothing else to do. Not having internet has also gotten me out of the apartment more, which is kind of nice. I have spent a lot of time in the library on campus, where I discovered my new favorite place to study! I was able to do some things at work, too, since I have internet there. My job has seen a lot of me lately.

Living without internet requires a bit more thought and a little more work, but it's not impossible like I once thought. It's no longer a thought that makes me want to cry. Living without the internet is possible, and it is something I have survived during one of the busiest times of my semester. Who would have thought, that a millennial like myself could ever do such a thing?

Now, I'm going to reiterate that I am very excited to get internet installed in a few weeks because there is no way I can keep living with no WiFi. It has taken a good bit of my time, trying to find places to go to do work, but it has been interesting, so I'm not too upset about it. I know, though, that this experience will be long gone and taken for granted sooner rather than later, but that's just what life has become, isn't it?
