Apple Products Are Consuming Our Lives

I don't think I could turn back even if I wanted to.

Apple Products Are Consuming Our Lives
Adriana Gil

There's been a trend of memes on twitter lately about the Apple consumption that we have. To be quite honest, they are not wrong about the excessive amount of Apple products some people have.

For me, I think it all started when I got an iPod touch. I remember how I was OBSESSED with it. Everywhere I went, there was my iPod. I remember the day I cracked it, I literally fell apart. I was sobbing, it's like I had lost part of me.

Normally I would be so beyond embarrassed about saying that, but I know I am not the only one. Apple has consumed the lives of so many, that I know I am not the only that has shed a tear or two or just stressed out when their phone has broken. The best part of that is that when it happens, you don't tend to see people settle for a cheaper device.

You just don't. People just go right back to Apple. It's an addiction. It's like the broken phone is a hard break up and them

Apple has programmed us to depend on them. Rarely do you see someone give up an iPhone for something else. Though truly, let's be real; if they do change, they are actually INSANE.

If you meet someone with one Apple product, it's safe to say they most likely have another as well. As well as everything would be on the iCloud.

Listen, Apple could give us a phone made out of jello, so not functional, and people would still sit outside of a store and wait for it to be released. If that doesn't show you how much Apple controls us, I don't know what will.

The real question is: will I stop my addiction to Apple? No, too much of my life goes into it. But will you?

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
