Last year, as my roommate and I would start our walk back from campus to our home, we would stare at our phones. Whether it be to text, SnapChat or scrolling through Instagram, our fingers never lost a tight grip to our I-Phones. After walking this route day after day, my roommate stated “Let’s make a rule for walking home. We have to put our phones in our backpacks until we get there.” At first, my reaction was simply “Why?” I didn’t see the point in doing this and honestly thought it was a little dumb, but I agreed to the circumstances. After walking home for the first time without my eyes locked in on the screen of my phone, I began to realize why.
