The
World As I Know It . . .
Status Update: 10/9/14
As I conclude this project I have so much to reflect on. I feel that, although it was only 7 weeks, I have immensely improved in my media usage. When I pull out my phone the trials of using it three hours a day pop into my head. I notice how sometimes I battle my feelings of guilt and try to justify my usage of my phone. There are moments when it is necessary to use my phone (directions, emailing my boss, scheduling appointments, talking to project partners), but I have no excuse to use my phone when I am in class and out with friends. It is rude to be distracted in such a way when you are with others. I suffer from an unhealthy addiction, but I now know there is plausibly a mental cure.

Yes, these pictures are adorable! But if you look closely you will see that in every single one of them I am holding my phone. I never go anywhere without it. Whether it is out of the country, on the boat at my cabin, or a night out with friends, I never leave my phone behind.
I have come to the conclusion that I cannot (refuse) to live my life without it anymore. How else would I be able to capture the amazing and glamorous pictures that prove my existence?
P.S. I am the blonde. Just incase that wasn't obvious.
