Help: I'm Addicted To BuzzFeed

It's more like a lifestyle choice if you ask me.

Help: I'm Addicted To BuzzFeed
techlicious.com

We all know how it goes: We go on the computer to be productive for once, and suddenly we realize we've wasted three hours re-watching the same hilarious BuzzFeed videos over and over again. BuzzFeed has become a source of entertainment, news, and delicious recipes for millions of people across the world. Allow me to take you through my typical BuzzFeed routine.

1. I am ready to get a head start on an essay

I'm about to tackle this essay. APA format? No biggie.

2. When suddenly...

It's time for a well-deserved break. So what, I only have the header done? That took a long time.

3. Time to get distracted

The internet just creeps up on you, y'know?

4. Social media catches my eye

Don't even try to tell me you don't automatically log into Facebook every time you go on the computer, because not only are you lying to me, you're lying to yourself.

5. My weakness pops up on my timeline

It's like waking up on Christmas morning when I see a new BuzzFeed video on my Facebook timeline.

6. I struggle between clicking and not clicking

The struggle is beyond real sometimes.

7. I succumb to my desires to click on the new video

(And probably all future rounds. Let's be real here, people.)

8. I see if my favorite BuzzFeed actors are in the video

I want to be Chris and Keith's best friend. Seriously, is that so much to ask? I think not.

9. I get genuinely upset if Keith and/or Chris are not in the video

They're so funny! I want them to be in every video.

Every. Video.

10. I get excited when they're both in the video

A. Their faces tell me that this is going to be an entertaining video.

B. That chicken looks really good, but that might be my "I was too busy doing homework that I forgot to eat dinner" hunger talking. (No it's not.) (I love chicken.)

11. I watch the video

Duh. (Side note: I've never seen the video this picture is from, so you can bet your bottom dollar I will be searching for it once I'm done writing this article.)

12. I watch the video at least three more times

Y'know, just in case I wasn't paying attention the first time?

13. I peruse the suggested videos featured at the end

I am never disappointed.

14. I go to the website, because their multiple YouTube channels weren't enough

There is never a dull moment on their website.

15. I take every BuzzFeed quiz known to man

The astrology quizzes are my absolute favorite to take.

16. I look at the clock

Uh-oh.

17. After much consideration, I decide I need to stop...

"Stop" is such a strong word, though.

18. For now.

I'll be back for the recipes.

Will I cut this BuzzFeed addiction out of my life anytime soon?

I'm way too invested in this addiction to try to get rid of it.

In case you were wondering, I had to watch the "Things Disney Characters Do That'd Be Creepy If You Did Them" video before finishing this article. I was thoroughly entertained. Best part? Chris was in it!

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.

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.

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.
