As you can see, technology is unavoidable, especially on a campus where having a OneCard is a necessity, and when all of your classes require for you to use a computer. To avoid checking my phone constantly, I put a piece of tape over the front and wrote "don't check!". Without that reminder, I probably would have checked it dozens of times. However, I did not go so far as to ignore my friends when they reached out to me by text or by calling me. I also caved into Facebook twice that day as well.
