Hello, my name is Joshua Jackson and lately I have been on social media a lot. Before social media I felt way better than I do now. I realize that social media can be good and bad at moments. Whenever I get on social media for five minutes then next thing you know it’s two hours later while I’m texting a friend or friends. Lots of the time it’s hard for people to stop social media because it’s very addicting. It’s very hard to restrain yourself from social media when you still remember your login,email,and password.
Lots of the time I wish I could forget social media is even a thing. There are also advantages to social media because I can ask a friend for some help on a class assignment if I needed help,or maybe I’m sick and wasn’t able to make it to school. I realize that it’s also affecting my sleep because sometimes I will be on social media longer than expected and won’t get to my work around seven thirty or eight o’ clock wasting countless time on an app seeing people’s stories or TikTok. I’ve become accustomed to looking at what other people are doing in their life and realize that I haven’t focused on mine.
At school that is when I feel least motivated to do homework but I know I won’t feel like doing homework after school. Whenever I’m focusing on assignments my friends are always asking me questions and trying to socialize with me. I realized that I have focused on other people way too much that I let that get in the way of me getting my homework done. Like social media I will be working on my homework and a friend will start talking to me and next thing you know class is over and I didn’t get much accomplished. Whenever I’m bored and don’t have much to do I realize that I spend way too much time on social media and need to do other things such as going outside and getting fresh air,playing basketball,riding my bike, and rollerblading.
I am going to quit social media for a month and will keep you guys updated in a month. Right now what I’m still learning is self discipline and overcoming my temptations. Well,whoever reads this I encourage you to try your best even if things aren’t easy.
