I have an insane Facebook problem.

I've cut off pretty much all CS, CoD, WoW etc - but my FB addiction is getting out of control.

FB is just so addictive and it's like a daily routine to go on facebook..

Lucky I don't talk to many people on MSN

Lucky I deactivated my facebook

Lucky I quit playing games

Lucky I study everyday


But on the summer holiday, in December, I played games everyday and went to PC cafe everyday

I played at least an hour of games every day :\
Facebook for over 3 hours (this was meant to be study lol)
Watched tv for 1 hour
scolded myself for 30 hour
slept for less than 7 hours

I bossed HSC to an average ATAR!

I guess if you're aiming for 95+ though you'll probz have to go hard.

Fucking hell, steam fucks everything up... now its even gotten to dota... nooooo!!
Well, an upside is that it will promote the game and the competitive scene. As of recently, DotA has declined in popularity in the US due to HoN and LoL. America is a key constituent in restoring DotA to its glory days.

i don't get people who deactivate facebook, stop playing games altogether etc

if you're good enough you can control yourself. Don't starve yourself entirely and then eventually give in when all those come back in large quantities, at all the wrong times..

all you have to do is follow this example imo :)

Do whatever the fuck you want during HSC.

This guy played ungodly hours of Halo reach and scored a 97.20.

I'm taking extra precautions to force myself to not play games.

I am one of those who played games because of intense stress and shit tutoring (or something like that). But the only thing I hated was the money spent on fucking tutoring. I don't regret anything because I'm in a good uni and a good course.

But of course don't play games because you love it and hate studying.
Avoid at all cost of playing a game and getting addicted to it.

And I know I'm not a good example but any opinion is valuable nonetheless.
This thread isn't for bragging about yourself.
