I wake up to the sound of an actual alarm clock - which is weird because I used to use an app on my phone for that. I go to check my Facebook to see what I missed when I went to sleep the previous night, then I remembered that it's gone and that's something I'll have to get used to. With not being able to go on any social media, I go into the kitchen to go get some breakfast and sit with my family at the table - which is also weird because we never used to sit at the table together, for any meal. Conversation actually strikes between my family members, and it's not arguing! What is this? My family argues whenever someone breaths wrong.
I get in the car, ready to go to school. The car ride there was full of conversation between my mom and I, which never used to happen. Get this, we actually made each other laugh - my mom actually making me laugh, now that's a first. For the first time, I felt connected with my mother, and I admit it felt good. I walk into the doors of hell, well what used to be hell. Instead of everybody on their phones, people are actually socializing in person. People are greeting each other instead of ignoring each other. I hear laughter, instead of music blasting through someone's headphones. For the first time, the conversations I overhear are not about assignments someone didn't do, or the answers to the test. People were actually talking about what happened this past weekend, or what their plans are for this coming weekend. Now that's weird.
When lunch time came around, I see people looking at each other instead of their phone screen - isn't that how it's suppose to be? Instead of tweeting what just happened, or how much someone just pisses you off, people would physically talk to one another and try to sort their issues out instead of creating drama over the web - which is so much better than a Facebook or Twitter war. Students now had to physically walk to a teacher, instead of emailing them, to ask their questions, which in my opinion creates a better connection between the students and teachers.
I had to print a picture of my dog out to show people, instead of just pulling it up on my phone. Which I do admit is kind of embarrassing but my dog's cute, so having a hard copy doesn't harm anything. I just want to share his silly personality to everyone else because who doesn't like cute pictures of animals.

We get home, and I go out to do my chores. At this time I would usually have a friend come over and hangout for a little bit, but I had no way to contact her other than calling and she doesn't have minutes. So I go inside bored out of mind, I actually start playing with my dog. I never realized how much my dog acts like a cat, until now. The bus pulls up and my siblings get off and run into the house. They all come in arguing and yelling at each other - which is natural for them because they never know how to get along.
Getting annoyed at the yelling and arguing, I go outside and go get my horse. I usually ride but today I just decided to brush her and talk to her. Kind of like a therapy session. I go back inside after like an hour or so and dinner is ready. We all get our food and sit at the table, AGAIN! Conversation strikes, and everyone tells how their day went, and what they learned. Get this, we actually laugh at the table, I never realized how funny my siblings were until I had no phone or social media to come to.
Then I go take a shower and get ready for bed. I usually scroll through all my social media accounts before going to sleep, but today I just turned my fan on, and turned Netflix on my TV. I then let my dogs in so they can get situated before I turn my light off.
