My love/hate relationship with social networks

So, I've decided that I really do not like facebook. I've been wanting to delete my account for some time, but I have several things stopping me. First: I have a new computer, so all of the photos from my old one only exist on FB. Second: I never ever get to see my cousins, so FB is the only way I ever connect with them. Third: I have a lot of old friends who I like to keep up with. Fourth: Facebook is my connection to the outside world and all of its news. If I deleted my account, I'd probably drop off the face of the Earth never to return again. But, I want to delete my account sooo bad!!!

Besides that, I've found other sites to use my time for procrastination. First: this blog. Plus I like to blog stalk other peoples' blogs. Second: Pinterest. Oh my gosh I am so addicted. And, one of these days I'm going to do every single craft and recipe I have pinned on there. It's on my bucket list now. Third: Goodreads. I just discovered that today. Bad, bad news for Shalese Mary Peterson. I am a book addict. Like, seriously, I forgo food, sleep, and shower to read. This site it not going to help my productivity in the outside world at all.

It really is ridiculous the amount of time I spend on the internet. Sometimes I love it and other times I just wish I wasn't that good at procrastination. If it were a major here, I'd be offered a full ride scholarship and graduate with honors.

  1. I understand your dilemma. A couple years ago my roommate and I made up new passwords for each other's facebook accounts and we would only sign each other on once a week for a limited amount of time to help with our facebook "addiction." Maybe you could try doing something similar?
