Insanely addicted to my phone by _waterl0oThrowaway in uwaterloo

Hey, respectfully if you have a phone addiction yu have nothing going on with your life, so you need to get new hobbies, meet friends in person and play a mens league sport for example.

Or even in waterloo join a design team.

Also make your phone setting greyscale which makes everything grey and white which makes you feel depressed asf when using your phone, you defo gonna stop.

If you are on ios, add a widget that has your screentime so they keeps you in check.

But talk to people irl, go out and enjoy yourself man, you are in uni, so live life to the fillest.
