Facebook Addict- Day 2

So, today has been pretty easy. I have wanted to check Facebook a couple of times, but I am actually enjoying not wasting so much time. I got a lot of homework done today, and I feel a lot better knowing that I am using the time that I have wisely instead of only half focusing on hwk while mainly playing on Facebook. It's odd- because I keep telling myself that I want to check FB, but I don't really know why that I want too. What is it that I really miss? Is it my friends or family? Because I could easily call them. Is it the pictures? Is it the games? I don't really know at this point. Maybe I will have a clearer answer by the end of the week. I am contemplating staying off longer than a week. As much as I hate not going on the website, I almost like this challenge that I have given myself, and I like that I am succeeding. So far, I have not accidentally logged on today =)

Facebook Addict- Day 1

So, it has almost been 24 hours since I decided that I was going Facebook free. I can honestly say it has been really hard at some points, and really easy at others. About an hour ago, I was on the phone, and I got on my laptop. Before I even realized what I was doing, I saw that I was logging into Facebook. I immediately logged out without even looking at anything. I was sitting there thinking, "Wow. This is really sad. It shows how mindlessly I go to Facebook. This truly is a pathetic addiction that I need to stop."

I am starting to not really miss it all that much. I hate not being connected to my friends, but other than that it is just a time waster. I still haven't started my homework, but that is due to other things in my life. Other distractions that I am not necessarily trying to get rid of, but I am trying to prioritize. Life can be truly complicated. That is how I am going to sum up today.

Facebook Addict

So, I think I have officially decided that I am a Facebook Addict. Earlier this evening I decided that I am going to take at least a week long break from Facebook. I have decided that I rely too much on other people, and need to take a break. How did I get to this place in my life where I spend hours just waiting for people to comment on something to do with my life? It makes me kind of sick. What was my life like before I spent hours on a website? I know that my grades in school were better, and I spent more time doing my homework. I didn't get distracted as easily, and I didn't rely so much on people's opinions. I spent more time outside, and doing activities such as painting, writing, reading, and drawing. It's not that I don't like these activities anymore, I just claim that I never have the time to do them. It's really frustrating to me that I have gotten to this point. It has only been about 3 hours, and I have thought about checking Facebook at least 3 or four times. This is pitiful. I will make it through this week without checking Facebook, no matter how hard it is for me.
