Facebook, Is. So. ADDICTING!

One of the things I have learned since Facebook was created is that it's very very VERY addicting to some people. I am guilty of this. Usually I will go on the Internet to check my email from school, or print something out for homework, or do some blogs, or anything else that has to with school. If it doesn't have to do with school, then I am more than likely just shopping on the Internet. While I'm shopping or doing homework, I find myself wandering on Facebook, seeing what everybody is doing. I actually saw a status on there last night from a friend and she said "Facebook affects your ability to study." I kind of laughed a bit and then went about doing whatever it was I was on the computer for the first place and then I started thinking, it really does affect people in the way they study.. or supposed to be studying. Such as last night, I was supposed to be studying for a math quiz I have today and ended up on Facebook. There have many occasions that I have been on the computer typing a paper or researching something for a project and got distracted by the temptation to be on Facebook. If I'm not on the computer, Facebook is not a big deal to me but it seems like every time I need to use the computer for homework or school or anything else... I end up getting on Facebook and wasting time. Like now for instance, I need to be doing things in "My Study Plan" for my English class or studying for math but before I started blogging, I got on Facebook. I hope this addiction doesn't continue to worsen otherwise I will be in trouble.
