You have no computer, mobile phone, or gaming console for the entire weekend. Write at least 350 words about how you feel and why and how you handle having no devices to occupy yourself with.
To be candid, it's going to be a terrible and boring weekend. I'm going to feel like it's the end of the world, or like an apocalypse. I can't do without my phone and laptop, it's my life. I watch movies with my laptop, chat with my phone and do researches.
My life revolves round my phone. It's the only companion i have at home. I am the type that doesn't really go out. Even, if I feel like going out, I don't have anywhere to go.
I'm the only child at home with my parents, my brother is in school. So, it's just me, alone with my sweethearts - Phone and laptop. Due to the ASUU strike here in Nigeria, I've been home since March, alone. So, my phone is basically the only thing I communicates with and a weekend without my phone is gonna be hell.
Nothing interest me at home, I hardly chat with my parents. So, my phone is actually a life saver. Because, without it I don't know how I'll survive seven whole months at home, without seeing my friends and course mate.
My phone is my best friend, my therapist and I can't do without seeing my best friend in a day. It's my happy place to be whenever I am down. Especially Twitter and Facebook.
Well, in case I don't have a device at hand. I prefer to read novels. I have some unread novels and story books in my room that I can use to keep myself busy for the weekend.
Apart from reading stories, I'll take it as an opportunity to write. Instead of mourning over a weekend with no device, I'll put my pen to work and write some poems, stories and content.
And, when I get tired of writing, I'll take a stroll round the house and later play with my Dog and Monkey. I keep a Monkey as pet and he's really good sport. There's nothing like boredom around my Monkey. And, my dog we'll just run round the house for some time before retiring into the comfort of my room.
Most importantly, I'll sleep very well and eat. I don't have any friends to visit. Since the only friend I have betrayed me a year ago, it's just been me. Without friend.
Conclusively, I just hope a weekend without device doesn't come. And, if it does, I'll take it as an opportunity to write more and develop my skills.
