When I was sitting in class and you told us both options for the assignment, I quickly picked the first option because I knew I wouldn’t be able to complete the second one. Social media for the past couple years has had such a big impact on my life. It’s how I communicate with my friends when we’re not in school, it’s how I talk to family members that don’t live in the U.S, it’s how I communicate with students in my class to complete a projects, and I’m not going to lie even how I talk to certain guys I like.

I remember sitting in the lounge with all my friends doing homework, and every once in a while my friends would take a break to check their phone but I never did because I knew I couldn’t. So within a couple hours I was done, while my friends’ barley finished half of their homework. Although, not checking my phone was not easy. The amount of times in the day I grabbed my phone to go of social media scared me. I literally would grab my phone every couple of minutes, unlock my phone but then quickly out it back down because I knew I couldn’t go on social media or text.
