Cell phone service has always been a hot source of complaints, no matter where you are in the building, the internet is either slow or non-existent. Of course, this is because the building is a big heap of bricks made before the age of “Bluetooth”, but complaining about it is always something most students can agree on.

“You’ve got to learn to accept it,” junior Zoe John-Meyer said. “I download all my music on Spotify, it’s just all about adapting.”

Although the student body has learned how to curb their insatiable appetite for tunes, that still leaves something to be desired. You upload pictures or files anywhere from your phone without pulling out a cord or using Airdrop.

“It just sucks having to ask for a laptop to phone cord when you know no one has one,” junior Donald Simpkins said. “I just don’t know how Androids do it without Airdrop.”

Although many will repeat the adage of “suck it up buttercup” when it comes to those ruthlessly denouncing this “demonstrable” plight, wishing for the many to simply adapt to it as others have.

“Complaining does nothing but add wood to the fire,” senior Ciara Spearmon said. “Changing with it though is how you fight it. Take the challenge, chew it up, and spit it in life’s face.”
