There are many instances in my life that are pretty funny to talk about, and so I thought I would share.
1. Off the Grid. . .
Losing stuff has always been kind of my thing, but eighth grade? I hit peak chaos. At breakfast one morning, I somehow lost my phone and didn’t even notice. My brain was juggling my sandwich, my friends, and whatever random thought popped up, and apparently the phone didn’t survive.
I didn’t realize it was gone until I was on the bus for a field trip to see a play with my class then, but I shrugged it off like,
Eh, probably in my locker… or the classroom.
After all we didn't really need our phones to watch, and after a little while
I completely forgot that I even owned a phone.
After we got back, I tore through the school like a detective. The searching went well past dismissal and my friends had to go home while
I continued. Then finally someone with common sense suggested I use Find My iPhone
, and it gave me the
answer that I didn't want to believe, but it was my only lead: the dumpster.
If you look closely, there are two dumpsters behind the school.
So there I was, desperately digging through countless trash bags. I smelled like garbage, and I was at my wits end. With a security guards help calling, we ended up fishing out my phone that was a little dirty but still alive, like me. My mom was very relieved to hear from me since I was basically off the grid.
