Summer is often a time where you feel against the world. Besides (maybe) work, it's a time to have fun, and visit with friends without the stress of an essay every two days. It's a time to set goals and achieve them. It's a time to watch all the shows and movies you put off all year or get caught up on YouTube videos. But what if you had no Wifi? How do you survive?

This is the story of one girl against the world...

...without Wifi.

That's right. WITHOUT WIFI.

I know you're thinking Dakota? How? How do you live without Wifi? Why? Is it a personal choice?

I won't lie to you; it's not easy at all. Though it's not easy, it is do-able. And it's not a personal choice, it's just expensive.

But wait Dakota isn't this The Odyssey Online? How do you do this internship?

Well it's simple really, living without wifi is all about discipline and timing.

HERE ARE MY TIPS FOR LIVING WITHOUT WIFI.

1. You have to be really good at finding it.

You have to know all the places in your area that have free Wifi. Unless you really want to pay for service. McDonald's and your local library are usually safe bets. Other restaurants like McDonald's sometimes have Wifi too. But be careful; sometimes it's only available to paying customers.

2. You have to be really good at planning and sacrificing.

You have to know when those free Wifi places are open and when you are going to be around there. For me I go to the park at 4 p.m. every day to workout. The library closes at 6 p.m. So I have to sacrifice my walk time once a week to write my articles. It's worth it, but a pain when...

3. YOUR WORK DOESN'T SAVE!

It can be the absolute worst moment of your life when you are on a time crunch and your work doesn't save, especially when it's on a auto-save site. You need to back up everything you are do incase of any interruptions.

4. Google Docs and voice-to-text are your best friends.

When using borrowed Wifi, time is of the essence taking the time to actually type is time consuming; if you can voice it everything will go faster.

5. You'll be depressed.

It's better to go ahead and add this one as a warning. YOU WILL GET DEPRESSED. I have limited data so I have to use it cautiously. You'll get sad that you can watch Netflix on the TV instead of your laptop like you do at school. If you stay positive you may just wish "I'm not really here. I'm not really here!"

6. You'll really appreciate the Wifi when you have it.

You'll appreciate the Wifi at school so much more. Even if you have to write some essays.

So though it may feel like you're living in the stone age...

...you'll soon be back with Wifi. And Netflix and YouTube.

(Yes, this is based on an actual life. Mine.)
