I remember when Facebook started to be so popular. MySpace was quickly forgotten and everybody started creating their profiles for this new platform. 

I personally did not have Facebook until before going to College and I was totally fine. 

More than fine. Now that I have Facebook it seems so hard to live without it- almost impossible?

Often times I found myself being dominated by this simple blue app on my phone. And most of the times it comes up in bad moments stealing my present. 

As I write this article, a lot of those moments come to mind and I am afraid to say that I am a Facebookholic. Really hard to admit it, but deep down I know it’s true. 

Even though I work on Facebook managing some pages, it still is no excuse to spend so much time on it.

If these things happen to you too, you may also be a Facebookholic—oops!

1. You start writing a paper with an idea in mind and a couple of minutes you are scrolling down through Facebook, and when you come back to the paper all the inspiration is gone!




2. You start the shower and you go to Facebook while the water warms up, and you don’t realize the time passing until the screen starts to get blurry.




3. Being really tired and going to bed and thinking, “let me check Facebook for a minute” 5 minutes later you realize you are not tired anymore =/.



4. Waking up in the morning, setting the alarm off and going to Facebook before getting out of bed.



5. Standing at the bus stop/metro and preferring to open Facebook before talking to the people around.



6. You only message people through Facebook.



7. You start watching a movie or your favorite show but half the time you were on Facebook.



8. When you go to your phone to do something and somehow end up on Facebook.



9. When you are at work and you go to the bathroom to check Facebook. (not speaking from personal experience!)



10. When you start watching one Facebook video and somehow end up watching 17 instead!

One thing I know is I should start growing some self-control and while Facebook is obviously a great and even fun thing, it can also steal many beautiful moments.
