MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY PHONE

My relationship with my phone has had its ups and downs. Sometimes we're joined by the hi...hand, other times I can easily go without checking it all day. I'm sure a lot of you are the same. What I find interesting is going from my first flip motorola when did it happen our phones weren't just a phone, but instead our life? All stored on a little device. 

Although my relationship has got to the point where I'm really not on it as much as I used to be - countless hours of procrastination in the library might be to blame for those endless hours on it? but it still remains my third arm - just slightly more detachable.

I'd well and truly be devastated if my phone got lost or stolen - thank god for iCloud so not all would be lost. Regardless though, I really would be upset/lost. Now, is that healthy?

Like I said, phones aren't just phones anymore, in fact the thing I do least on my phone is actually ring anyone. It's your music collection, your games, your connection point with social media, all your photos aka memories, and your conversations with your nearest and dearest (and co). In this digital age its your portal to just that.

The positive and negatives of this is clearly endless. Some people's relationship with their phone is probably the most committed relationship they've ever had. But in a world where AI (Artificial Intelligence) is a threat to jobs within banks, is it time to accept that phones are just a new limb?

I'd love to know your thoughts!

LIFE | MY TRIP TO MALLORCA & SO MUCH MORE

Hello! Safe to say long time no see, which is a recurring theme? Let's try and change that. Anyhow, I hope you are all as well as I am. Since going AWOL - yet again...I've been to Mallorca as you can see. But anyway, more importantly to the & SO MUCH MORE. I want to come back to blogging by reviewing my last post, LIFE | 2018 as we're now over half way through the year, it'll be interesting to see what I've actually achieved.

1. Better friend - now this is still an ongoing improvement. I do make a ton more plans now than previously, with finishing uni and actually having some time for me. However, I could still be less lazy with my phone and pick it up to make some more plans. 

2. Graduate. Well I sure have gone and finished university but I don't graduate till October. However my final grade is in and I will be graduating with a first class honours so GO ME!

3. Be happier. Without consciously realising I am definitely happier than I was this time last year. And I am certainly not as moody or grumpy as before, with focusing on the positives in life more than the negatives (Reality check: I am still a sucker for a grump here and there - lets be real).

Here's a little explanation of my whereabouts (for those few possibly interested). My final year at university was stressful so I had to take a step away from blogging so I actually did my university work which, in the long run, paid off seeing as I'm now graduating with a First. After uni, I went into working full time hours and found every excuse under the sun not to get my arse into gear and start posting again. But here I am. Another more controversial and topical reason for why I took a step back will be in my next blog post!

So yeah, I'm back. Keep your eyes peeled!
