As of Wednesday, March 2, 2011 I have officially been off of Facebook. Not just un-signed in. But out. Off. Gone. Invisible.
I realized, 90% of the people on my Facebook I don't really care if I ever see or talk to again. And that 10% are people I DO care about... and I actually talk to them on the phone, in person, or text them when I have something to say to them. SHOCKING! I know, what a concept.
I used it as a distraction, something to give myself a break from homework, or whatever else I was doing. But then I would end up stalking random people who showed up on my feed. OR re-stalking my friends. Oy ve. It really was stupid. So I deleted it. And I still have my bored moments. But then I just finish my homework in one sitting. What a concept!
The only negative aspect-I can't stalk my younger brother. It is MUCH easier to find out about which girl he likes by looking at whose pictures he comments on and whose wall he posts on than to ask him 5 thousand questions about it, and not even getting an answer. Ha.
So I challenge you. TRY IT!
