We all hope that we are never there. You have all of your notebooks out and ready, you have your charger all plugged in, the snacks at the perfect distance from you and then it happens. Your computer will not turn on. You have midterms coming up, papers due, but no way of doing them. This happened to me this week, and like everyone else, I went through the 5 Stages of Grief: Computer Edition.
1. Denial

“Maybe the computer just needs to be charged,” I told myself. ” Maybe all I have to do is plug it in and leave it for a while. Maybe G-Tech can help me.“
2. Anger

I couldn’t believe that this was happening. And during midterms! This is when I called my mom and complained on the phone.
3. Bargaining

If you start to work, I will never let you lose a charge again. I will even clean out the keyboard!
4. Depression

I can’t even watch Netflix. All I can do is sit here and stare at this computer hoping it will work eventually.
5. Acceptance

I guess there is nothing I can do but send my computer in to be fixed and hope that it is fast.
