Don't Waste Your Tears Over Your Broken Phone, It's Probably Slow And Outdated Anyway

When my dad got me a new Samsung Galaxy Note 8, I instantly fell in love with it and had completely tossed away my broken Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

Have you ever cracked the screen of your most precious phone? Well, I did.

It was such a bitter experience. When I cracked the screen of my Samsung Galaxy Note 3, I was so sad because I broke my favorite phone. I really loved that phone. But my mom kept pestering me to buy a new phone and that I shouldn't be so sad over my broken Samsung Galaxy Note 3 at all. I didn't get it when she told me. I just kept crying and kept telling myself getting a new phone will not be the same as my old phone.

But boy, was I wrong. When my dad got me a new Samsung Galaxy Note 8, I instantly fell in love with it and had completely tossed away my broken Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Here are three reasons why.

1. Unlike my Samsung Galaxy Note 3, the screen is a lot bigger and the phone even has a longer stylus pen!

Because I like to draw so much, I have installed drawing apps on my phone and made use of my phone. If you are an artist like me who likes to draw and wants to spend less money, having a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is a great substitute for a bamboo tablet.

2. The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has more space than the Samsung Galaxy Note 3

I am able to download as many apps as I want. That means I can download Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest, Facebook, DeviantArt, YouTube, and a whole lot more! As I go to my email app, my email app does not have any problem syncing and receiving emails. When I had the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, I had to delete a lot of apps along with some photos and files in order for my email app to have space to receive emails.

3. The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 takes great, high-quality photos!

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has a camera! It has so many settings you can use to get the perfect photo of your family and friends and even selfies! One setting that I really like is called "Live Focus" because you can adjust the blur of the background and make the people captured in the photo in great focus. You can also edit the pictures with "photo editor pro" to enhance the photo by adjusting color and brightness, cropping, and even adding stickers and cool effects!


The lesson I learned from this experience is simply this: When your phone is broken, this is a call to get a new phone!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
