3 Problems with Apple Products That We Know Too Well

If you are like me, and the majority of the world, you probably have at least one personal electronic device in your possession. It is also pretty likely that Apple makes the electronic devices you own. The company is one of the top technology providers in the world. It also is considered by many to be the best company that makes technology.

I guess you could say that I am "team Apple." All of my products are from Apple; my whole family uses Apple, with the exception of my dad's laptop. I also remember enjoying those Mac and PC commercials with Justin Long. You know the ones.

But just because I use Apple products, doesn't mean I'm obsessed with the company and keep up with everything they do, like my uncles, or others.

In fact, I am not that technologically advanced, have no idea why things don't work like they're supposed to, which is often, and I will get frustrated with my personal electronic devices.

I'm pretty sure I am not alone in my frustrations with devices from Apple. They are a great company, who make great products; however, those products can be very frustrating.

Here are several problems I have faced over the past six years since owning an Apple product. Some of you reading this might have experienced these problems as well.

1. When your earbuds get old and they suddenly control your sound.

It's one thing when your earbuds go out in one ear; that happens with all earbuds. But Apple earbuds have a whole new power when they deteriorate. My earbuds are currently in this state. Whenever I move the edge of the cord, specifically the rubber on the end, my iTunes suddenly begins to play and/or stop depending on what's happening. And if I'm lucky, my audio will become distorted, speed up, or go crazy.

2. When you have to update your apps several times, and they don't do anything.

When your apps get slow, you think the update will fix it. And it usually doesn't. And there's another update that comes out next week. Speaking of useless updates…

3. When Apple inevitably puts out a new phone and gets further away from what we want.

We don't want easier to drop and break phones that can't listen to music while charging the phone. We want models like the iPhone 6 or 5.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
