1st day as an adult....

Holy guacamole! 
Today was not as I expected it to be. My 1st official day as an adult! Yesterday I said goodbye to parents, friends, and were off on my own now! Woke up this morning, the 1st thing I do is grab my phone. Soon realized my phone had been glitching all nite long. It was shut off, couldn't press buttons, so immediately panic! I'm a young adult and I basically live off my phone! Went to the front desk, asked if campus had something similar to AppleCare. Kind young gentleman said, we might but they will charge u double the cost. Cost was not a problem at that moment it was getting the phone fix! So my roomie and I head down to the Union to get some breakfast! Expecting many restaurants to be open... I was wrong! The only breakfast place was enstein bagels...I will say it wasn't near as good as hot bagel! Ohhh how I miss that place!! We waited in line forever to get our breakfast and then headed down to the bookstore to ask about my phone! Come to find out they only are able to work on iPads, computer... not iPhone. Go back to my room helpless... call mom and dad and finally got a apple support phone number to call. Which I was very adult about until, after an hour, 2 different tech people trying to figure the problem out I started bawling. I didn't feel helpless, I was helpless. After had been on for 2 hours decided to go to a Verizon store, since the 1 Apple Store was 25 min drive... no way I was gonna walk that!! So dad called an Uber!!!! My first Uber ride alone, ohh so scary!! I was fine, he was so nice and friendly!!! Got to the Verizon store and was immediately helped out.... told him what was going on, he had no idea, took it to the boss, boss had no idea. They said my best bet was to go to the Apple Store..... so asked to barrow a phone since mine wasn't working! Had to call dad back, for him to call and Uber for me! Next, I was off on the 25 min to the Apple Store! Expected non the less but the Apple Store was packedddd. One tech guy came up to me and said what's wrong u look stressed.... I said don't get me started!😂 Proceeded to make an appointment, only availability was an hour and 15 mins later! So I booked it!! Took that time to collect myself, and shopped around! The mall was actually really cute!! Mom would be proud, I didn't buy anything!!! Those 75 mins felt like a life time. Appointment came around, long story short.... Apple genius' still don't understand what was going on with my phone,  got a new phone and slowly getting everything back on it! Today I didn't have a proper working phone until 4, took 3 Ubers rides alone, cried for hours, talked to 5 different apple geniuses, shopped  and didn't even buy anything! How on earth did people function in the past, couldn't call for help, send text, check emails, take pictures, gps my next location..... moral my experience, I AM TRUELYYYY BLESSED TO HAVE A PHONE THAT WOKRS! 🙏🏽

I am exhausted, if this is what adulting is I rather opt out!

  1. At least you have your phone and learned how to get a uber ride and get your phone all taken care of. Adult life #1 life lesson. Check.....Adult life #2 life lesson will be handled just as great. Sometimes you just need to step back and do a little shopping therapy and relax. It all looks better after a while.

    You got this girl,

    So proud of you.

    Enjoy your time.

    Love you,
