14 Signs You're Addicted To Facebook
vetazacatecas

When "facebooking" consumes more than half of your day, it's safe to admit, you're an addict. I myself am a social media addict, but what consumes most of my "social media" addiction is most definitely Facebook. Urban Dictionary describes facebooking as:

1. Verb: To waste time by browsing TheFaceBook.com.

Yeah, I spent all last night FaceBooking instead of writing my paper.

2. Verb: To check your Facebook profile, search for something on Facebook or use one of its many apps.

gancho: Dude, put your iPhone away.
make: Hold on a second. I'm facebooking something.
gancho: Don't ever use that as a verb again.

I know you Facebook addicts out there don't want to admit it, but you probably are a Facebook addict. Here are 14 ways to know for sure that you're a Facebook addict.

1. Scrolling through your news feed the second you wake up and the second before you fall asleep.

2. When you go to settings on your iPhone and "Facebook" takes up over 55 percent of your Battery Usage.

3. Spending all day sharing/reading/liking random post and articles on your news feed.

4. Learning all your news from the "Trending" sidebar.

5. Watching those cooking videos that look absolutely delicious and saying to yourself every time you're going to make it, but you end up being too lazy scrolling through Facebook all day.

6. You will never go 30 minutes without being active.

7. Anytime you're ever doing anything on your computer, the Facebook tab will always be open.

8. You have over 1,000 Facebook friends because you crave as many friends as possible.

9. You always are up to date on what everyone is doing because you never miss a post, you're always online.

10. Your friends and family will get mad at you because you will never pay attention to what they're saying. You're way too focused with what's on your Facebook news feed.

11. You spend way too much time just staring at your Facebook profile for no reason.

12. You find it interesting to stalk people on Facebook you knew from your childhood.

13. You automatically type in "Facebook.com" every time you open up your browser.

14. More than half of your Facebook friends aren't actually your real friends. Some you probably haven't even met or talked to before.

If these 14 things consume your life, its time to admit, you're a Facebook addict.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
