Nintendo 64
I was 4 years old and it was Christmas time so my parent's surprised my brother and I with our own Nintendo 64's. I was excited to get to play Super Mario 64 and I remember spending hours playing. -
PC
My first official PC my dad purchased from my brother's high school when they were selling off their old computers. I was happy I had something I could work on homework assignments such as papers in middle school, and I had just enough power to be able to play The Sims 2 during my free time. I remember this computer often broke down and needed contact upkeep since it was on it's last leg. -
Cellphone
My first cellphone when I was in 7th grade was a blue Motorola Razr. I remember feeling like I was growing up at this point because my grandpa hadn't bought my brother his first cellphone until he was in high school, but because I was a girl my family felt like it was necessary with me going over to friend's houses and everything that it was important for me to be able to contact them in case anything happened. I loved texting on this thing with T9. -
iPod Touch
For Christmas my junior year of high school, my parents decided to get me an iPod Touch. I was so excited to be able to download music and listen to it whenever I wanted. I prided myself on adding album covers for my whole music library so I could look at the cover arts. I also got to play things like Temple Run and compete versus friends and it was around the time when Snapchat became popular. -
MacBook Pro
My first laptop! My family was against me purchasing an Apple computer since my brother and all of them did not understand why I would want one. It was my first "adult" purchase since I purchased it when I first started college so I was proud of my purchase. I used the laptop for nearly 7 years until it stopped getting software updates and decided to die on me. My old windows PC never lasted me that long.
