14 Signs You're Addicted To Facebook
vetazacatecas

When "facebooking" consumes more than half of your day, it's safe to admit, you're an addict. I myself am a social media addict, but what consumes most of my "social media" addiction is most definitely Facebook. Urban Dictionary describes facebooking as:

1. Verb: To waste time by browsing TheFaceBook.com.

Yeah, I spent all last night FaceBooking instead of writing my paper.

2. Verb: To check your Facebook profile, search for something on Facebook or use one of its many apps.

gancho: Dude, put your iPhone away.
make: Hold on a second. I'm facebooking something.
gancho: Don't ever use that as a verb again.

I know you Facebook addicts out there don't want to admit it, but you probably are a Facebook addict. Here are 14 ways to know for sure that you're a Facebook addict.

1. Scrolling through your news feed the second you wake up and the second before you fall asleep.

2. When you go to settings on your iPhone and "Facebook" takes up over 55 percent of your Battery Usage.

3. Spending all day sharing/reading/liking random post and articles on your news feed.

4. Learning all your news from the "Trending" sidebar.

5. Watching those cooking videos that look absolutely delicious and saying to yourself every time you're going to make it, but you end up being too lazy scrolling through Facebook all day.

6. You will never go 30 minutes without being active.

7. Anytime you're ever doing anything on your computer, the Facebook tab will always be open.

8. You have over 1,000 Facebook friends because you crave as many friends as possible.

9. You always are up to date on what everyone is doing because you never miss a post, you're always online.

10. Your friends and family will get mad at you because you will never pay attention to what they're saying. You're way too focused with what's on your Facebook news feed.

11. You spend way too much time just staring at your Facebook profile for no reason.

12. You find it interesting to stalk people on Facebook you knew from your childhood.

13. You automatically type in "Facebook.com" every time you open up your browser.

14. More than half of your Facebook friends aren't actually your real friends. Some you probably haven't even met or talked to before.

If these 14 things consume your life, its time to admit, you're a Facebook addict.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
