Perhaps the Biggest #WhiteKidProblem

Im sure we all follow @whitekidproblems on Twitter right?? Its just too funny. I feel like my life and a lot of those surrounding are faced with these "white kid problems" on at least a daily basis. The biggest of these "problems" is the ongoing debate of choosing the Blackberry or iPhone.

I was the kid who had a Blackberry starting in 8th grade (make all judgements now :) ). I used it religiously until the iPhone 3G came out, and decided to make the switch. The iPhone had all the cool apps and was the new "it" piece of technology, and we always like to be up to date. The iPhone however did not sync well with my email since I did not use Gmail or any of other other platforms that sync perfectly with the iPhone. I was deleting my emails twice, if i deleted it on my computer it would not delete on my iphone, ect.....I missed my Blackberry and its ability to sync perfectly with any email client.

3 months later I switched back to a new Blackberry. I've continued to use a Blackberry and BBM has become an essential, but I am at that point where I am ready for an iPhone yet again. Especially after Apple's exciting announcements about iCloud and iMessage yesterday I know I will be switching again in the near future. Since the time I had an iPhone there are waaay more features and waaay more apps.

Who knows, maybe a few months later I be wishing i still had a blackberry. I just cant decide! #whitekidproblems

What do you prefer?

Off The Grid

That thing is has literally been attached to my body- that thing being my Blackberry. At least that is how I feel, and i'm sure others think the same! I am constantly checking it for emails, texts, BBMs. 3 days ago I made the decision to turn off my phone and not log into Facebook.

This decision seemed completely absurd to everyone around me, but for me it was quite easy. I did not want to be bothered and constantly obsess over whether I had any new messages. Sitting around hoping that someone texts and they never do is probably the worst thing ever.

We all know that that "quick login into Facebook" turns into an hour long depth into people's profiles that you would prefer not to be looking at- hence why I also decided to stay off of Facebook for a few days. I always seem to find pictures of people that I don't want to see, or find out information about people I would be fine without knowing. 

I was going to have my phone turned off for as long as I saw necessary- anyone that would care enough to reach my had my e-mail address so it was fine. My mother, however, saw this differently! In the end, her constant questioning and "what if I need to reach you's" ended up being more annoying than having my phone turned on! haha

It was a great feeling actually to have it turned off and not be going on Facebook. I recommend everyone try it, if only for a day.
