Everyone knows that moment when your phone slips through your fingers to the unforgiving concrete below. The mad scramble begins as you fumble to save your tech companion from its possible destruction. You've....almost....got....it....SLAP!! It falls down, screen first onto the pavement.

"Please don't be cracked, please don't be cracked, PLEASE don't be cracked," you pray silently, or if you're like me, aloud. You pick up your phone but leave it face down for one more slow deep breath before you flip it over and....sure enough, the ENTIRE screen is cracked.

I certainly felt betrayed this last time because I made sure to keep a screen protector on it! How dare my screen protector to stay completely intact while my poor iPhone 7 plus lay in all of it's cracked glory. What follows is my exact reactions to how I was feeling moments after the incident:

1. HOLY CRAP THERE ARE CRACKS EVERYWHERE! But maybe it's just the screen protector...Nope, it's definitely the actual phone screen. Now I can barely see anything.

2. Wait, a minute...is the front camera messed up?! My snaps could be ruined!

3. I really hope that I don't start getting shards of glass in my face/fingers every time I use my phone.

4. Why on earth did I spend $40 on a screen protector that didn't even work?

5. I mean I guess I could have put a more expensive case on it, but at least I had something!

6. Do I look into having the screen fixed or do I just keeps the cracks?

7. I SERIOUSLY can't afford to fix this right now.

8. I mean this is basically a sign on how the rest of my semester is going to go.

9. I have dropped my phone from way higher and it has never cracked before. Two inches from the ground and OF COURSE it cracks.

10. Great, now I'm a part of the cracked phone screen group (we all know this is a thing).
