So... This happened to me over the weekend. I didn't drop it, it fell out of my pocket because they were way too small (I should write an article about that and other unfair things...). It ended up dying.
Luckily, I was able to get a new one, so all ended well. However, it didn't stop me from going through all this:
Denial
WHAAAAAT! IS THAT A CRACK?!?! It has fallen maybe once or twice, and it's fine, and this time, the screen cracks? Oh well. That happens to people all the time. My brother's old phone had a cracked screen and it still worked... Everything is fine.
Anger
WHY IS THE TOP OF THE SCREEN NOT WORKING?! There are two whole rows of apps that I can't use! And what if I need to make a call? Did that break?! UGHH!!!! I do my best to keep my gadgets alive and now this happens? WHYYYY!!!!!
Bargaining
So, I suppose I have to get in contact with the parentals... They'll hopefully be fine, since I'm not the one who's constantly breaking stuff, plus I'm doing well ins school. Even if they do freak out, they will in another state. We have insurance, I get a new one, yay! It won't come until Tuesday, boo. Maybe I should have kept my hand in my pocket, or put it in my coat pocket? Or perhaps I should have brought an actual alarm clock after spring break...
Depression
It's turning purple... According to Google, it's because of the crack... I can barely see anything, and the top doesn't work... Time to factory reset it while I can still see... RIP. No clock to check, have to ask other people and use my laptop as an alarm. No checking emails on the go, having to find other ways to entertain myself during eating time (I eat alone, it's not rude), and tell parents to use messenger for the time being since the phone's violetness is a sign of death. Tuesday seems so far away...
Acceptance
It's going to be okay. Remember that time your old Droid Razor died last year? You made it through that. (Of course, you had a clock then...) But... It has to be done. Though the classes seem long, and free time longer, patience is key. Tuesday will be here. For once the professors talking for a longer will not be inconvenient, but it will just kill time... Just — *GASP* An email from mail services! It's here!
Now, where did I put those paper clips...
