My life revolves around my computer. I’ve learned through college life that everything and anything important rests within that singular device. I knew a computer would obviously be an important component when coming to college, but I never thought my entire life would rest in its keyboard. See what I did there?

All my homework, notes, review guides, and overall material are on this machine. It makes me feel as though I should have it locked in a safe instead of carrying it in my backpack 24/7. Being a media major, I assumed that my computer would become my best friend, but I didn’t think it would become my life partner.

When you look at it, the relationship I have with my computer isn’t that much different than the relationship one has with their spouse. We are typically always together and right by each others side, we eat meals together, and sleep in the same bed. Also, I cherish my computers friendship;  we always laugh and cry together through things like Youtube and Netflix. I suppose we have a few little fights here and there, because maybe my computer is taking too long to load a page, or, perhaps, gives me the silent treatment and shuts down. However, we typically stick with each other through good times and bad times, through sickness and in health.

This strong relationship I have with my computer is very necessary. It makes academic work and entertainment a lot easier and more accessible. It allows me to just sit down and get work done anywhere at any time. If anything ever happened to my computer, I know it would be a huge hit to my productivity and happiness.

My computer usage definitely tops all other media outlets, and the fact that I even use it more than my phone is shocking. I believe that as the years go on, my relationship with my computer will just continue to grow. I really hope there is no possible divorce anytime soon.
