Academiks

Maybe its the adderall talkin but I've noticed that without the constant distraction of waiting for notifications, refreshing the news feed, and seeing whos on chat,  ive totally been willing and almost eager to do work and get my shit done.  I mean obviously this goes without saying - everybody knows facebook fucks with school.  But not even having the option to look at it since my shits been deactivated is a huge relief - one less thing to bring down my GPA.  Id thought about deactivating before when ive been in rough patches with school,  but i never wanted to give up the book.  I felt like i was missing out on shit.  why research topics for an essay when i could see what some random jerkoffs from highschool were up to?  It translates to everything in life though, not just studying:  work, relationships, everything.  why should we be interested with that shit in the first place? none of it affects us in our daily hustle and bustle, we got other shit to worry about.  i begin to realize that now, even if its only been a week.  Like blaz said, the evolution of first signing up for facebook back in highschool to what it was for me in my facebook prime (Spring '10) was filthy as shit.  i'd be looking at the newsfeed almost religiously.  If id have known the toll it takes on hours of shit i could have been doing, id punch mark zuckerburg in the crotch.
