Someone takes six hours to text you back. Then you meet up and they check their phone every couple of minutes, right in front of you. Same person, opposite behavior. Texting you and checking that phone come from two different parts of the brain, and only one is a choice.

Texting you back is work. They have to read what you said, think of a reply, get the tone right, and hit send. Anything that feels like a chore is easy to put off, the way an unread email can sit there for days. Your text is also out of sight, so there is no reminder in the room that you are waiting. The reply just slides down the list.

Checking the phone is the opposite. It happens on its own. A team at Aalto University in Finland watched how people use their phones and found most of it is tiny, automatic checks. Each one is quick: unlock the screen, look at a single app, put it down, usually in under thirty seconds. People do it over and over without ever deciding to, so often that they lose count. The average comes out to about 186 times a day, roughly once every five minutes you are awake.

Your phone works like a slot machine. Every time you look, there might be a message from someone you like, a funny video, a notification, or nothing at all. You never know which. That not-knowing is the hook. The chemical behind it is dopamine, and dopamine runs on anticipation, the pull you feel while waiting to see what you get. It spikes highest when you cannot guess what is coming. Your text, already read and sitting there, has no surprise left in it. The brain reaches for the mystery in the locked screen instead of the chore of replying to you.

So when they grab their phone at dinner, it usually has nothing to do with you. Researchers at Virginia Tech found that just having a phone face up on the table makes both people enjoy the conversation less and feel less understood, and it hits hardest between close friends. The phone does not even need to buzz to pull someone halfway out of the room.

Their slow replies and their constant checking were never a contradiction. One is a chore they keep dodging. The other is a reflex they cannot even feel themselves doing.

Sometimes, you meet them as frosh. Sometimes, sophs. Sometimes, jrs. Sometimes, you’re lucky enough to tell them one more time to “be safe” before they leave.

They’ll go. They’ll grow. And best of all, they know at least one person that’ll be in their corner.

#Michael gets an A-.

I just don’t know how, if you’re familiar with his discography, you stay quiet.

Jaafar Jackson looked more and more like Michael as the movie progressed. Absolutely uncanny.

Here we are, doing our best MJ impersonations.

your relationship with discipline changes so much when you shift doing things from shame to love. from ‘i have to clean’ to realizing i deserve to have a clean home. from ‘i need to work out’ to i deserve to have a healthy body. you deserve to have the best from yourself.

[Blake Burge @blakeaburge]

Major cheat code for life: Believe that things will work out for you. Not blindly, but through effort. When you expect good things and pair it with action, you start noticing opportunities others miss. Optimism paired with effort is a powerful force.
