I have a confession to make: I am addicted to Twitter. I have been for about 4 years now, ever since I signed up. I wake up in the morning and the first thing I do is check Twitter. I get out of class and immediately check Twitter. During big games, presidential debates, award shows, I am constantly checking Twitter. It's the greatest.
However, I have come to realize that Twitter is making it harder and harder for me to study. It is a major distraction. Every time I sit down to get some quality studying done, do some homework, or even write a blog, I end up opening up Twitter and taking a scroll through my timeline. Next thing I know, a half and hour has gone by and I have gotten nothing done. I just can't get away from Twitter. I hate to say it's like a drug, but it's kind of like a drug.
I have contemplated many times deleting my Twitter account. However, every time I do, I start thinking about everything that I will be missing by staying off Twitter: the memes, the jokes, the pictures, the news, the videos, the parody accounts, and of course, the vines. I just can't bring myself to click that button to cancel my account. It's just too hard.
With final exams coming up, I am going to need to find a way to lay off Twitter. Any tips or suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated!
