When I moved to Sweden 4 years ago, I came to Sweden with Samsung S8, that’s the model of the phone, and I could use it for practically things I needed at the time, like calling, social media and all. Then in 2023 I bought my current phone, it’s Samsung S24 and it has 512GB. This device has improved my life considerably. First of all, when I wake up in the morning, the first thing I reach out for is my phone. It’s not because I am or I’m trying to be distracted, trying to take what the time is. I don’t set an alarm so I wake up when I wake up and somehow my Sicilian cycle… Hey, you live in Sweden, you have to know what the weather is before you prepare for the day. And also I also need to check my voice time, especially for days I’m going to work or I have to run errands. Now that means my phone is on one being I cannot leave without. Like I mentioned, maybe checking time. I also use my phone to create my daily routine. So I have a checklist of to-do things, I have a to-do list on my phone and where I prepare the tax I have to accomplish that day. So yeah, it’s indispensable. Like when I accomplish the tax, I go to my notes and I mark it. So I would say my phone, it has improved my life considerably. It has helped me become more organized as a person. Since I live away from family, I get to talk to my dad or my mom every day. I see their faces, I see home, and I do not feel far from home like I should be.
