the end of my weekend without facebook.

So...yesterday was the last day without facebook. I went back on it this afternoon for the first time since thursday night. I have never ever had so many notifications before in my history of facebook. It was extremely overwhelming. Part of the fact was because saturday was my birthday! (yay!) So, everyone commented me on that day and i had millions of "happy birthdays." It was really hard that day to not go on, because I was so curious to see who commented me for my birthday! As if I had nothing better to worry about. I truly never knew how addicted I was to facebook. It is actually pathetic and embarrassing. I realized this while at my boyfriends hockey tournament yesterday. I was at the rink all day with him and his mom and every second that I was bored, I picked up my phone to go on facebook. Ofcourse, i did not go on.. I stopped myself. But it was amazing how many times I picked up my phone with a desire to go on facebook. Since I wasnt browsing the latest updates on facebook on my phone, I was conversing more with the people around me, making conversation...and even watching the hockey game. (you know, the whole reason I was there in the first place.) Don't get me wrong I absolutely love hockey and watching the games whenever I go, but sometimes facebook takes my interest. Anyway, I also noticed other things. The time that I spend on facebook the most is right before I go to bed. I am always on the computer chatting with other people, shopping online, listening to music...all while on facebook, right before I go to bed. I had less to do before I go to bed. So, I found myself getting off the computer quicker & going to bed earlier. This was a good thing because I was a little more rested in the morning.

So my whole point in this blog is that stopping myself from not going on facebook for 3 days was a true eye opener. However I hate to say it, but, I don't think I will stop me from going on facebook so often. BUT, it does make me conscious of how many times a day I do go on facebook and how pathetic I really am. LOL. This was definitely an experience that made me realize how connected I have to be to other people at all times. It was interesting!

I just wanted to add- can you believe that its snowing again! UGHHH. I am so sick of the snow and I really just want it to be summer time outside already. I dont know if its just me, but I feel like this winter is taking FOREVER to pass!!! Anyway, back to reality tomorrow.

Goodnight everyone!!
