Well, usually I’m the one who loves out people’s inability to spend, I don’t know, another of their time without a phone in their hands. So, there was a particular one moment that stuck in my head when I couldn’t use my phone and really got a deposit by it. It was one of the exams that we had taken in our school and actually we were taking it on our laptops and I could, it seems like I could possibly just use another tab to play some game, or any other activities that would distract me. And I wanted to get distracted from that exam because how easy it was. I was just overwhelmed with the boredom and was craving to do anything else. All I could think about was reaching my phone and doing anything fun. And the access to any other apps, of course, or Windows was limited on the laptops that we were using. So, I had to deal with any possible ways with my boredom and I had to spend time on doodling on my drafts or trying to distract myself by looking outside the window. And I think that I lost around three hours of my life on that. This is why this memory is still vivid and I still can sense the anxiety and, um, anxiety and, you know, anger that was inside of me.

Well, usually I'm the one who loves pointing out people's inability to spend, I don't know, another moment of their time without a phone in their hands. So, there was a particular moment that stuck in my head when I couldn't use my phone and really got affected by it. It was one of the exams that we had in our school, and actually, we were taking it on our laptops. It seemed like I could possibly just use another tab to play some game or engage in any other activities that would distract me. I wanted to get distracted from that exam because of how easy it was. I was just overwhelmed with boredom and was craving to do anything else. All I could think about was reaching for my phone and doing something fun. The access to any other apps, of course, or windows was limited on the laptops that we were using. So, I had to deal with my boredom in any possible way, spending time doodling on my drafts or trying to distract myself by looking outside the window. I think I lost around three hours of my life on that. This is why this memory is still vivid, and I still can sense the anxiety and anger that was inside of me.
