Text Free Day

I decided to go on an entire day yesterday without texting.  Naturally, I begin texting when I wake up since my phone is the first thing to grab as it is my alarm clock as well.  This time I just turned off my alarm and let my phone be.  For the first hour or so I found it hard to keep away from my phone.  I had the urge to see who had text me and if anything needed to be done today.  I tried to come up with an excuse at times to look at my phone such as to play a game, check the weather, and even just look at todays date.  As time went on I found things to do to keep me busy, such as working on my homework or playing some music.  I even fixed up my room which is a rare thing for me.  I then realized I didn't need my phone as much, as it wasn't the first time I had kept it off for a day. Just to make matters more interesting I also stayed off Facebook.  This is something I check daily, not because I feel the need to post something about myself but because I love looking at funny pictures that people post.  I enjoy a good laugh of course.  There was really no need for me to be checking on the status of my peers.  I was happy with the time that I had "off the grid," because I love being in my own little world.
