5. Your Primary Doctor
– You never know when you’ll need to make an appointment and the last thing you want to do when sick is search for a phone number. It’s also a good idea to input the office address – it’ll come in handy when filling out forms for school or work.
6. A “I’m Drunk: Please-Come-Get-Me” Contact
– Sometimes things get out of control and you find yourself without a safe way home. This person should be easily reachable, and of course, willing to come get you. Parents will work, but a close friend or relative might be a better solution.
7.
A “IF LOST, CALL THIS NUMBER” Number
*Thousands of phones are lost everyday. Remember to put a number you or a close friend/relative can be reached at so a kind soul can return your device.
