To People Who Walk Up The Stairs While On Their Phone

Hello, It's me, the person behind you who is extremely annoyed.

Guess what? Stop looking at your phone while walking up the stairs. It is not only dangerous, but it's infuriating. You're just moseying along enjoying life so oblivious to the world around you and how rude you currently are acting.

We've all seen those videos of people walking oblivious to their surroundings, into parking garages, fountains, busy streets and more. What if you fall? Worse, what if you cause other people to fall in the process? All so you can send that killer tweet?

You are telling me that it is impossible for you to walk up a flight of stairs, which takes ten seconds at max, without your phone being glued to your hand and eyes? You're that obsessed with your phone? You're really making Millennials and Gen-Zers look great. Thanks for that dude.

What are you even looking at? A text? Scrolling through Facebook? Taking a snap? It all can wait! There is no reason you need to be so self-absorbed and phone addicted like this. I get it, emergencies happen, people need to reach you for some reason, but deal with your business either before or after you transverse the stairs!

Look, I'm clumsy as heck, so I don't need you slowly walking up the stairs making me spend more time on them. I'm busy trying to get to class, I don't have time for you and your precious phone to be in my way.

And while we're on this subject, put your phone down while driving and stop playing on it in class too! You're wasting your own time and everyone else's.

Okay so from now on, stop looking down at your phone taking your sweet ass time while walking up the stairs. Take the elevator if you want to do that. Just look up from your phone long enough to walk up the stairs and get out of my way.

You miss a lot when you constantly stare at your screen.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
