Old fashioned millennial?
I'm 21, will be 22 in January & im having a hard time living in this world today 🙄 I feel like a lazy, addictive, fat loser when watching tv, scrolling on my phone, or just doing something NON productive. But it's 2017! The way that the world is today, I am DEPENDENT on my phone. Fortunately I'm not addicted to social media like the rest of my generation (I deleted all of those apps) but I find myself on YouTube looking at videos for new hairstyles, or fitness tips, or life hacks, or catching up on some of my subscriptions! And if I'm not on YouTube then I'll google "when is Mother's Day 2017" and I somehow end up on looking at critic reviews on the latest movies or something! I just don't like the way that technology me feel. In the long run, I will admit that I basically use technology to inform myself but idc if I'm reading up on factors of the world war, I wanna sit in a library & do so in a book & not on Wikipedia 😫 and then the bad thing is that I KNOW the horrible effects of mobile devices & too much technology & stuff yet I still lay in bed, facing the wall Netflix & chilling by myself on this documentary about how to change my life 😒 like what kind of 💩 is that? I want to actually LIVE! I wanna do the old school things like take walks in the part, read, go out in the town at night, etc. there are so many little goals that I have for myself that require me stepping back into the 90s for a bit but I legit get anxiety from even THINKING about turning my phone OFF at 10pm & not turning it back on until 8AM. & then I have a boyfriend & friends & my super overprotective dad who calls me at all random times just to make sure I'm still alive (I'm a college student & live in an apartment with my roommate) so people need to get in touch with me! And unfortunately, I can't just turn my phone off all day because they prefer to shoot me a text or call rather than write me a letter like they did in the 1940s. 😠idk, I just wanna be great and I feel like the advancement of technology is holding millennials and newer generations back from really living life! Like 8 year olds with iPhones and tablets? That's ridiculous! Fortunately I have awesome childhood memories that kids today won't be able to experience due to the distraction of technology. And I wanna have awesome adulthood memories as well and I don't wanna continue to follow in the trap but how can I when checking the time is a setup for failure? 🙄 & how am I supposed to live when all of my peers, friends, & family are addicted to technology yet I wanna change?
And I'm also tryna figure out how am I supposed to spend all of my time? What did they do all day every day back in the day? I try to read for an hour but that ends up reading for 15 mins and spending them other 45 on my phone because I just get so bored! How did they entertain themselves?
