Is it bad to love the internet?

Confessions Of An Internet Addict

Over these past few days, my Internet and TV services went out. Through the midst of everything, I realized that in I am addicted to the Internet.

I am addicted to the Internet and honestly, cannot live withoit it.

The earning to want to check my facebook, instagram, snapchat, tumblr and twitter flutter around my head frantic like. I jitter and get angry that I have "nothing to do" and result to excessive eating, hours sleeping and long periods of time sitting; doing nothing. I never thought I would be one of the few millennials addicted to the internet. I always thought "Look at me. 20 years old and don't really need a cell phone."

Well, that's right. Look at me.

I grow lazier and lazier by the day and just wait til the day the internet guy walks in and gives us the miraculous gift of unlimited data. I can't wait for the day that he shows up in his pickup, installation kit and wires and knocks on my door to give me the gift of a lifetime. I can't wait for the internet.

And is that so bad?

Is it bad to want to see what's going on in the world? Is it bad to talk to friends and see all the things they are up to? Is it bad to see great things that the world has to offer? Is the internet bad? No, its not.

So yes, I am an addict. I like, no, love the internet and I am proud that I can look up all of lifes greatest things and still be able to tell all my friends about it. I am proud that I can research anything around the world in the blink of an eye and still be able to put my phone away when I need to.

I am a proud millennial who needs the internet. I understand we life went on without it. But, can I? Can I risk losing the information that is stored in an infinate universe? Can I risk losing touch with friends across the globe? Can I risklosing a job because of my lack of communication? No, I can't and thats not bad.

I am an addict. I am addicted to seeing what the internet has to offer and I am not ashamed.

I need to know what is out there. What life has to offer and the beauty's that cute dog videos, funny tweets, witty Facebook posts and the latest Pew research that has been found. We were made for such a time as this. We were made to want to know information. We are made to want to communicate with people.

Its not a robotic way of thinking, but a way to say "I accept who I am."

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
