That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where phones stopped feeling new.

I tried this in Mumbai with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.

Honestly, this is a little too vague to be useful. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.

Amazing how much difference one small change can make. This is more useful on a tired first week than on a perfect day.
