Proclivities

In True Form

As a procrastinating American university student, I think it’s only natural that the evening before the start of a new semester marks my return to force-feeding myself social media.  I could finish making my bed, start the sculptural sketches and research that I have to present to my advisor this week, read a book, study French and/or Korean, go to sleep “early,” or even simply put the screen protector on my new phone before something unfortunate happens to it. No. I will compulsively check and recheck my facebook, twitter, tumblr, and other blogs because that is just what I do. I readily admit there are much better uses of my time, yet I can’t seem to muster up enough willpower to stop myself. However, I stopped caring about this compulsion months ago… I’m just enjoying reminding myself of it.

Sometimes it’s just so easy to get into the swing of things, and I like that.
