"It's time to wake up, Emily," my mom sings from the kitchen. I attempt to open my eyes. Why didn't the alarm on my cell phone go off? I stumble across my room to search for my phone and freeze as a feeling of dread begins to twist my stomach into an uncomfortable knot.
I sigh and realize today is the day for my experiment: "A day without technology."
My editors asked me to do it for an article and I readily agreed. How hard could it be?
I didn't realize what I had gotten myself into until I was driving to school in my car in silence. No radio blasting my favorite energizing songs. I had to sing to myself. I could tell it was going to be a long Wednesday.
As soon as I got to school, I went to the library to print out my English project from my flash drive. "Uh-oh," I thought. "This isn't allowed." However, I quickly decided that one exception to the no-technology rule would be acceptable, especially since it was for a school assignment.
