I never believed them when they told me it only took one website to become addicted until it happened to me... Oh wait they said that about drugs? Same thing.
Slowly, but surely, I'm giving up YouTube.
And I'm already beyond help with the time I spend here.
If you are in an online class like me then you pretty much have to do this.

Yup, this was me... I don't know if this still applies to me, but I still spend hours on the internet every day.
"Oh, come on! My grandparents will be here for two months! I have plenty of time to spend with them! " -groans-
Haha this is me on Instagram and Wishbone.
This may mean you have your school project and educational websites open across different tabs.

Google Chrome, people.
That's like asking me if my username is RockFashionista.

Wow that's bad if your doing that.

It's easier to make friends online because they don't judge you on your looks. It's about personality.
The only people I make friends with are online.
