What I Learned In 48 Hours Without My iPhone

As of right this second, my beloved iPhone 6 Plus is not working. It's been like this for about two days now, and I feel like I am losing my marbles. It's always been obvious to myself and to the people who know me, that my phone is my security blanket. Its like having all of your friends right in your pocket and you're never alone.

Here's what I've learned in the past 48 hours.

1. Siri is my new BFF

"Siri, call mom", "Siri, call Josh", "Siri, dial 867-5309". She's probably annoyed with me by now.

2. I finally figured out how to Facebook messenger works on an actual computer screen.

"Hey, I saw you texted me but my phones being dumb so I need to reply to you on here,". I've typed that exact sentence at least 10 times today.

3. I've learned where all of the AT&T stores in my area are, and how many of them have the iPhone 7 Plus in stock.

I'm coming for that rose gold.

4. Twitter messages are also a thing used to communicate

"I saw you sent me a Snapchat but I cant open it because, again, my phone is being dumb,". I've also said that at least twice today.

5. Car rides to and from work are boring when I can't listen to my Spotify playlists

Songs You Should Be Listening To: Volumes 1 & 2 are available now.

6. You panic over the thought of not being able to give your friends the live play by play of your day

How am I going to let my friends know when I see a cute dog?

7. Procrastinating becomes much more difficult to do

Because scrolling through Social Media on your laptop just isn't the same.

All in all, everything will be fine, I'm due for an upgrade and hopefully I can keep my head on about it for another day. This has been the realest struggle, and I know that if I can over come this, I can over come everything.

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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. 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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
