          I decided to do this assignment on labor day when we did not have class. I didn't get up till around 11, giving me a late start to the day. I realized a long time ago that when I first get up I grab my phone to see that time and any notifications I might have received while I was asleep. I don't have any other way to check the time so this has become a habit that I am sure I'm not the only one guilty of. I thought that my first type of communication would be through Instagram or text but surprisingly it was through snap chat. Even after this day was done I realized that snap chat was my go to form of communication. Instagram use to be the first thing I checked for a while until I deleted my Instagram account.  
         I spent most of this day in my suite/room with my suite mates and realized when I am bored I would go on snap chat, YouTube, and text to pass the time. I don't think I do as much activity outside the room because I am conscious of the battery life on the phone. I was watching videos on YouTube for 40 minutes at one time. I would never do in public. I think its a mix of knowing that my phone wont last long and other stimulates that keep me off my phone. When I was home I would hang out with my suite mates but their is only so much we could do.
        In conclusion I believe that snap chat is my first form of communication which is surprising to me. I also believe its not only mine. When I am awake I have a choice to go through hundred of seconds of snap chat stories from all my contacts. Peoples first option when they get up is to post a snap story and chronicle their day. Even though the snap chat stories are one to many it is the biggest form of communication for my age group. Also I believed that when I am home I use YouTube and other forms of communication at a higher rate then if I was out. Just looking through how much I used my phone to communicate that day I would have to say that this hypothesis is factual. I do agree outside of my home I do use my phone a lot but not at the rate when I'm at home.
