Addicted to the Internet

College Life

<p>Help! I think I’m addicted to the internet. I often waste time on site like Youtube, Wikipedia, News, CNet, and occasionally even porn (probably worst). My most efficient times are when I don’t need a computer to do problems. But, I keep going online when I need to use the computer to turn in assignments or read practice problems… </p>

<p>Anyone experienced this and know what to do?</p>

<p>Get rid of your computer and use the library for all computer-related assignments. It’s the only way.</p>

<p>Or you could just learn self-control, but it’s overrated imo.</p>

<p>This doesn’t necessarily describe an internet addiction. It may be one, but it may very well be basic procrastination and distractability. I mean, I identify with many of the things you mention in your post, but I know that I’m not addicted, I’m just a big procrastinator.</p>

<p>Lol, the internet is a big part of our lives these days, you can’t get away from it. Just learn to deal with it?</p>
