I didn't get a cellphone till over halfway through my first year at college. It was incredibly frustrating being fairly busy on campus, but being completely out of touch if I left my dorm and walked the 20 to 25 minutes to class and such, and often missed out on stuff that I had no clue about because it was waiting on the answering machine while I was on campus.
Now this year, I don't even bother with a land line and use my cell, a nice cheap durable $10 phone that has fallen and I have fallen on before in water yet still works, as my only phone line. Its nice since I deal with stuff at random hours to have a phone that I can count on having nearby whenever I want, and also nice only having one number period to worry about.
I also don't randomly 'chat' on the phone with anyone but my parents, the rest of the conversations are short and to the point about meeting someone at a certain time or something else short to communicate, or at least have a purpose and cover lots of ground for longer convos.
Ah yes, and I have a '93 Ford Taurus, so cell comes in handy with that piece of work too.
