| cell call, text, or neither?
I've texted a lot this year because calling people can be quite time-consuming and inefficient compared to texting.
I'm pondering getting the 300 min/month and unlimited texting plan, switching from my current 450/month and 250 text message plan.
Which do college students mostly use? |

| Texting.
My text-game is relatively abysmal though. I've rendered worthless many a phone-number pickup by following up with lackluster text messaging.

| Texting sucks, and I hate when people do it. If you have something important enough that it can't wait for me to check my e-mail or next time I see you, then it's important enough for me to actually talk to you. | |

| If it's important then I call. If it's just like "hey whats up wanna go to chilis tonight?" type stuff then I text especially if I'm not sure if they are in class right then. Texting is also way better when you just want to find out something simple (assignment due date, etc.) and you really don't want to talk to them. I text way more than I talk. | |

| Go with texting. I never used it before I went to college, but it seems more people use it there. It's much easier to use for stuff like "hey are you doing anything tonight" or "what chapter are we supposed to read." | |
