You would think that moving 8000 miles away from home would give me freedom and independence. But alas, the evil creators of Life360 had other plans for my future.
Life360 is too smart for my old bag of tricks, like going on airplane mode or switching my location to my iPad. Instead, because of the advent of technology, Life360 uses high-tech satellites to triangulate my precise location, and send detailed notifications to my mom the moment I leave any given place or drive in a fast-moving vehicle.
By now, my mom has a list of my most frequented spots around campus, which include:
- Amity Hall (where I go for burgers, duh)
- 1020 (they make a great Shirley Temple!)
- Lion’s Den (a cozy study spot)
- Riverside Park
- Butler Library
So thank you Life360, for keeping me under the watchful eye of a mother who texts me when my Uber back uptown is going over the speed limit.
