Cell phones won't help you for life

It's a warm Monday morning, everyone is cramming in material for their final chance to pick up their grades as this is last week of school. Groups of people are talking and shouting at one another debating on an answer that is either wrong or right. Others quietly ignoring them through the use of their headphones but yet something feels odd about all of this. Everyone is on their cell phone looking at social media instead of studying or finishing last minute reports. There are a few that are quietly doing what is needed to be done but the others are lacking focus. I myself am studying but this is truly astonishing as a group of individuals in a study room are on their phone while there is another group quietly working with another outside to avoid disturbing those who are trying to work.

So much stress and anxiety is in the air and yet some people cannot comprehend their future is based on the actions they do at class. It's a time of judgement to slowly get rid of the weak and keep the strong. I am here focusing while others are seemingly on Facebook or Instagram hash tagging I hate finals week or here comes summer. Then you see the man who takes school seriously and is writing down an outline on what to study on what day and what to expect on the test. A couple with books and a labtop walk in and sit on the couch ready to study but soon both fall victim to the use of cellular devices. Once they start clicking away on their touch screens, nothing else matters and no words are spoken.

This generation is so accustomed to using a phone at hard times that it is a habit for most to pull it out and start texting or describing their feelings to everyone even if they are right next to them. It is unbearable to watch and sickening as those who are studying are getting a swift kick in the ass for those who talk and text in an area where there should be no noise. I luckily cannot hear a sound other then the music I am hearing on my headphones.  Those who are on scholarships might lose them and those who are not just found a way to pay for college. College is a time of focus and intelligence to see if you have what it takes to go through nights with nothing but two hours of sleep rather then blowing it off until the exam.

As I sit here criticizing those who are on their cell phones, I too fall victim by steadily taking it out to text my  friends on what I'm seeing here on campus. I quickly throw my phone in my backpack not caring what other people see and I finish what I have due by later tonight. I decide to take off in the end back home but as I am leaving those who were on their phones the whole time are seen stressing and yelling Ad for those who finished their studying or homework before hand are eating and ready to go home not worried a bit about the exam the next morning.

Welcome to college.
