Girl Scrolling on Phone in Bedroom Forced to Get Up, Go to Class, Scroll on Phone in Lecture

College sophomore Leila Michaels got a taste of reality while browsing her social media feeds last Wednesday. At 10:48 a.m., Michaels realized she had exhausted her excused absences for her Introduction to Environmental Studies recitation.

Michaels was then forced to get up mid-scroll and leave the comfort of her own home. She continued to flip between Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat during her 0.3 mile walk down Spruce. She then settled down in the Levin Building, where she continued to peruse social media for the duration of the class.

“This class is so boring. I could be doing much more interesting things at home,” Michaels said. Life can be so unfair.
