any college students addicted to the internet

<p>and what did this do to your college performance??</p>

<p>i don’t have destructive tendencies but i could really do without the internet sometimes when it comes to washing the dishes, reading a book, making sense of a curious social encounter, falling out, or observation, clipping my nails which are getting too long for comfort (i keep poking myself when i scratch), and, well, basically anything that takes attention and focus - be it of a mental or dextrous nature. so sometimes i feel like my connections to the internet should be destroyed or temporary dismantled in a violent way, but i would never end it like that. i swear, i wouldn’t. the internet is MY LIFE.</p>

<p>Try the programs freedom or anti-social. The first blocks all Internet access for a period of time, the latter blocks a list of sites you give it for a certain amount of time. Once activated, you have to restart your computer to get around it. You can get them both for $20 total.</p>
