no laptop

So last monday i was in my philosophy class and i was thinking of all the work that had to been done during this busy week, when suddenly i realized i had an eight page paper due in two days. i started to freak out in my seat because i felt i should be at my room doing all of this work. I had this huge paper, three midterms, and to update csis assignments. Once class ended i pretty much sprinted home to find a desk with no laptop on it. I suddenly became short of breath. i thought maybe my roommate took it but i could not get in touch with him because he was taking a test. i needed to do so much work but i literally could not start anything because i didnt have my laptop. it wasnt until that exact moment that i realized that i am addicted to technology. like an alcoholic finds out he cant go a day without a drink, i needed my computer. it turns out that my roommate did take my laptop because he needed it at the last minute. so for an hour and a half a sat at my desk trying to read. it was an unforgettable experience.

  1. I literally don't know what I would do without my laptop, especially since all my resources are on it and I depend on it for research. I can't even imagine being in the situation that you were in.... probably because im afraid to lol. I hope that once you got the laptop you were able to finish the paper with minimal stess.

  2. Its not so much that you are addicted to technology because of having so much work and not having your laptop available, but rather how society specifically school is creating this need because all of our assignments need the internet and need a way of typing them.
