Restricting my technology-deprived nine-year-old self of smartphone use is NOT a good idea. Apparently my RA thought otherwise. She made a bunch of new rules meant for me but made the entire hall obey them too, making me really unpopular. I didn't get the impression that my Instructor or TA liked me either. | Restricting my technology-deprived nine-year-old self of smartphone use is NOT a good idea. Apparently my RA thought otherwise.

About Me
Hi. My name is Anouk. My main, extreme obsession is Band. Other obsessions include reading, editing my userpage, and organizing random parts of the house. I once got rid of at least fifteen cubic feet of stuff from me and my brother's rooms combined. I'm an introvert, but I have a tendency to talk a lot, probably too much with friends. One of my goals is to go to either Lancaster or Saratoga before I get too old to attend CTY. Unfortunately, I'm limited to Seattle due to financial issues, so this goal isn't exactly going to be reached.

I didn't have a very strong bond with my hallmates here either since they mostly spent all their time in a room staring at a screen, watching YouTube or playing video games or posting on Musical.ly or whatever. Since I didn't have a device and wasn't "cool", I was excluded from this group and spent most of my time holed up in my room, reading and binge-eating jelly beans (what a healthy, balanced diet). All my friends were in another hall that resided in the wing across from mine and we didn't find each other until the second week during activities.

I actually did qualify for IS CTY, but chose to take a CAA course instead since it was the only option that I liked. The other course I could have taken was INBS, but I tend to get queasy around dissections. The situation with my official hall was the same as the year before: They spent the vast majority of their free time on their devices or talking about things that didn't interest me. I made friends with members of Sofi's hall instead and finally discovered the real reason why I'd continued to attend CTY. I still have PCTYD and it doesn't look like it's going to go away anytime soon.
