No Cell Phone. . NO LIFE!

No Cell Phone. . .No Life

What was I thinking? I knew I couldn’t do it. Why would I even try? The fact is I hate life without a cell phone. As pathetic as it may sound it has become a necessity. I tried the tech challenge, but couldn’t’ handle it for long. Without my phone I wasn’t able to ask anyone after class to meet me for lunch. Therefore I ended up having lunch by myself. I couldn’t take it back to the room because I had to head to work. As I sat there all alone I was so sure that everyone was snickering under their breath as they chewed on their food, WITH their friends I might add. “What a loser.. . “ “HA!!. . guess that kid doesn’t have any friends.” Not so much fun. When I got in the mood to head to the gym all my friends on the floor were out and about and I couldn’t text them to see if they wanted to go with me. Oh. . .another place I had to go alone. I don’t understand how things were done in the past. For example if you had to meet someone somewhere what would happen if you got stuck somewhere or if they for whatever reason was running late? What if for some reason you couldn’t even make the meeting? How did people manage when they couldn’t call the person or text them? I guess they just sat around waited a couple hours and finally gave up. When it came to the point that I needed to call someone about an assignment we had to do for homework I gave up. The fact is the cell phone has become an invaluable tool of life. You are cut off from the world without one. You can’t make plans, you can’t let people know if plans change, you can’t ask for help, you can’t do anything. There is no reason to not take advantage of the technology if it is so accessible. I text throughout the day. I text my girlfriend, my brother, best friend/roommate, friends from class, friends in general, my mother, my grandmother. I text everyone. I feel like without my cell phone without the ability to communicate with them at the movement of my fingers is the equivalent to losing them. Losing the phone means losing existence. Some people can do it. For example I know Rachael Scott from class can go a month without a cellphone no problem. She never answers my texts, although perhaps that’s for a different reason. But from what I hear she is like that with everyone. She just simply doesn’t take her phone places and doesn’t check it that often. I think I would have a panic attack. Next time a tech challenge comes around I don’t think I’m going to even try. I would definitely need an incentive, something like an automatic A on a paper.
