Let’s be real everyone relies on our phones. More than we would like to admit, sadly. We each have our favorite apps that we can’t live without. The top five that I use the most are  Instagram - My favorite social media app. Of course, I couldn’t live without scrolling through that multiple times a day.  Outlook - My calendar and my emails are all living here. I can’t miss a meeting for work or an email from a professor.  Facetime - I love Facetiming family members back home or even my boyfriend from time to time.  PNC - I use my bank card way too much.
