Facebook obsession

Since social media is an acceptable form of media to blog about here is the observation of the beast that is Facebook.

I love and loath Facebook every day. I enjoy the feeling of inclusion that I receive after I scroll through my new feeds or click through weekend photos of friends lives.

If I wasn't there then I can experiences the event through the camera lens. Better yet if I cannot watch a major sporting event all I need to do is glance down the status update to know exactly what happened.

I spend an incredible amount of time on the social media beast. Quick session become hours plus longs constant creep session where I refresh the home page constantly. I need to know what other people are doing. I think it has a combination of my major, journalism, or the utter detest for boredom.

However, one of the best benefits for me is communicating with people who are out of the country or have no other form of communication. Those are things I do like.

The things I do not like about Facebook is how much time I spend on the site. I feel like once I get sucked in I can kiss three hours of my day good bye. Lackself-control, I believe, is my fault but its so addicting.
