My Mom Is Totally Lost When It Comes To iPhone Culture And These 5 Things Prove It

My mom doesn't understand the do's and don'ts when it comes to using an iPhone, but that's okay.

My Mom Is Totally Lost When It Comes To iPhone Culture And These 5 Things Prove It

We shouldn't expect our parents to be as tech-savvy as us. They have other things on their plate. Besides, it's a little bit funny and enjoyable watching them use their iPhones.

Here are five things parents just don't seem to understand about iPhones.

1. She blinds people with the flashlight.

When I go to a restaurant with my family I find that my mom is always blinding half the restaurant with her iPhone flashlight because she can't see the menu. There needs to be some kind of "menu flashlight" that's a bit more dim than usual.

2. She zooms in for everything.

I wish it was possible, but no dad, you can't zoom in on Jeff's Facebook status.

3. She accidentally likes Instagram photos I show her.

Showing your parents a photo of someone from a while ago can probably trigger their "accidental liking syndrome." You've probably experienced accidental liking syndrome firsthand if one of your parents liked a picture of your crush from six years ago.

4. She never calls back.

Mom: "I'll call you back"

*five hours later*

No call back. I have to chase her.

5. I have to call my mom to have her check my texts.

I'll text my mom something urgent like "Oh I just got bit by a seizing rabid raccoon" and she won't answer me unless I call her. I have to call her to say mom check your texts.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
