I Let the Magic Conch Shell App Make My Decisions for a Day and This is What Happened

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at JMU chapter.

8 AM: “Should I go to class today?”

Conch: “Maybe someday.”

 

As much as I wanted to roll back over in bed, my prof takes attendance and we might have a quiz this morning, so I decided to go.

 

“Should I dress comfy today?”

Conch: “No.”

 

I guess I’m putting an actual outfit on. At least it’s getting warmer outside!

 

10:00 AM: “Should I go to Starbucks and grab breakfast?”

Conch: “Yes.”

 

Thank goodness… Honestly, I don’t know if I would have the guts to skip my morning tea… 

 

11:00 AM: “Eat healthy for lunch?”

Conch: “Yes.”

 

Ok Veggie burger it is. I’m not complaining.

 

2:00 PM: “Walk to work from class instead of taking the bus?”

Conch: “No.”

 

With the state of the weather right now, let’s just say I’m pretty happy with the conch’s decision.

 

5:00 PM: “Watch a couple episodes of ‘Gilmore Girls’ before doing homework?”

Conch: “No.”

 

*Sigh*

 

7:00 PM: “Fries with dinner?”

Conch: “Try asking again.”

 

Ok ok, I’ll go for the cantaloupe jeez…

 

8:00: “Can I watch ‘Gilmore Girls’ now?”

Conch: “Yes.”

 

FINALLY! I need my Lorelei and Rory time.

 

10:00 PM: “Should I go to bed now?”

Conch: “Definitely.”

 

I’m probably not going to let an app run my life again in the future, but my day didn’t turn out as bad as I expected. So if you want to spice up your day, try channeling your inner SpongeBob and Patrick and hail to the magic conch.
