Student Reflection: A technology-free experience
By Will Strovnik
One of the highlights of the trip was spending 5+ days phoneless. It felt good to get away from technology for a bit because it improved my sleep schedule and
I felt less sluggish and I enjoyed myself more. It also made me feel more productive and get stuff done on the ship. It was an amazing experience; I've wanted to take a break from civilization for several years. I've really enjoyed just being out at sea and being able to relax and work as a group.
