Both The Blessings and The Curses of A Social Network

As a college student, I have to ponder and think about many things at the same time. What class is next? Wait...what did the professor just say and was I supposed to write that down? Did I have homework for my next class? While all these questions have to deal with my school work, one more question still haunts my mind and causes me the most trouble...have I updated my Facebook status? While I understand that classes are important and that they are top priority, an overwhelming desire comes to check my facebook and see how others are and to catch up with fellow alumni of my high school. I believe that I got so used to using Facebook all the time over the summer and I never got rid of the habit. I don't know what my plan is to avoid Facebook, other than to simply have my computer off whenever I do homework that does not require it. I also have decided to start putting myself on a very strict schedule to avoid "free time" when there really isn't time for it. Any time I find myself using any time as free time, I will try to find a more efficient way to use my time, such as socializing with others in person, instead of over Facebook. I will also use any free time I have to study more about my voice and the pieces I should work on for the following week. In addition, this time will be used to work ahead on large assignments. I plan to break this Facebook habit in one fell swoop.
