I still have nightmares about the week when I didn’t have a phone. In my senior year of highschool, my phone got stolen and it took about a week to get a replacement. That week was the longest week of my life. I found myself actually feeling sad and depressed without my phone, which is quite pathetic.

I also could spend that time joining a club as I don’t feel like I’ve made the most of my time here at SLU. I haven’t really connected with a lot of people here and now I know one of the reasons
