Failed attempt at Disconnect

As sad as it is to admit, I don't know what I would do without technology in today's world. I tried to completely disconnect myself and was actually doing quite well on Friday. I got a lot of homework done, cleaned my room, and had time to think without the constant distractions. It became harder as the night progressed and I tried to make plans for Halloween. Luckily, my roommate and I are good friends and were going to be together for the night, so I let her make the plans and contact people. I made it through Saturday as well, but wow was it hard to not be able to check Instagram, my texts, my Groupme etc. I was more anxious than usual. As saturday evening rolled in, I gave in and turned on my phone. It's crazy to see how much I missed within just one day! This was a really eye opening experience. I feel that if our society as a whole was not so addicted and connected to technology, I would have found it easier to disconnect. Sometimes I even like to disconnect so that I can concentrate or even just not worry about the outside world for awhile. However, when it comes to every day life, making plans, and having no phone for Halloween, I can't say the same.
