Two days ago I, unfortunately, dropped my phone in my cup of water. Upon the quick thinking of my friends they ran it to the bathroom, blow dried it, and put it in a bowl of rice. (Apparently that's what "they" say to do with a wet phone.) Well, my phone was not having it, and has been useless ever since. Due to the fact that I'm a poor college student, and my parents think I spend my money on the wrong things, so they wouldn't get it for me, I have been without a phone for two days. Two days seems like a short time, but I've never had such a stressful, anxiety filled two days in my life. Being without a phone I feel lost, and almost not safe. I know that sounds weird, but thats just how I feel. I like being able to contact people whenever I please and I like being accessable. Especially walking around campus at night, I like to have my phone on me where I know a friend is just a few clicks away. Needless to say, this experience has really opened to my eyes to how much I depend on technology and how important it is in my life. Back in the day when cell phones were not really a popular device to have, people would walk to each others houses in order to contact one another. That's crazy to me, but for now, I guess that's what I have to do. That or just use one of my friends phones, which is proving to be an easy task considering that 5 of my friends are glued to there blackberry screens while I type this..
