Social Media to the MAX

Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Vine, Facebook, Instagram, Netflix, Netflix, Netflix.  THIS was my morning. On this lazy Saturday filled with procrastination on any and all work I need to complete for the week, I sat, and sat, on social media. Yes, I am pathetic.  However, I must say it was quite refreshing pretending I had no responsibilities in the world (other than shooting awake at 7:30 thinking I needed to be at work).

I woke up, devastated that I didn't charge my phone last night. Yes, the worst thing to happen when you plan to lay right next to the charger for the next 6 hours.  I think I was being a little dramatic since I was up way earlier than I planned to be. Anyway, I checked my social media apps until my phone was on 1% and dreaded rolling over to plug it in.  At this point, I watched Grey's Anatomy for 3 hours.  The worst part was, I was on social media while I was watching my favorite show.  There really is no satisfaction in just enjoying your show is there? I blame my stressful week of presentations keeping me away from my precious Netflix.

After running to the store and making myself presentable to the world (sadly, in that order) I sat on Vine for a half hour. Yikes! I did get a lot of good laughs though, I seriously suggest a Vine session anytime you need to smile.  Now presentable, off my couch, and doing school work, I am checking Snapchat. Oh, the shame!

Let's just say that monitoring my use of social media was done on a pretty pathetic day in my life.  But, it's reality for you! When we have a minute (or 360 minutes) I enjoy using mindless social media apps and technology to allow myself to relax and have absolutely no care in the world besides freaking out to Grey's wondering who's gonna die next!

I do have to stick up for myself here quickly though, because I really don't text all that much.  I find it to be so forced these days, to talk to people constantly with no real purpose. Actually, I haven't done that in years, but my point is that while I improve in some areas, I may overuse others.  I realize that the hours I did nothing could have been used for more productive things, but sometimes you just need a day off!

Time to fire up and get some work done!
