Learning Journal Activity - Poetic Inquiry

Facebook and Studying

When studying my impulse control is nearly non-existant. I can’t help but surf the web and look at cat videos on youtube. It’s terrible but why does it happen, and why can’t I stop? 

I procrastinate. 

In circles I go, one webpage to another,

But why do I always end up on facebook?

I wish I could control my impulses

But I can’t,

Around and around I go.

Time ticks on.

Night drags on.

Paper’s due.

What do I do?

The answer is simple really.

Click EXIT.

DON’T go on Facebook.

Learn about World War II and the Human Brain.

Read your poetry readings. 

Study for your midterm.

Say GOODBYE to social networking,

Hello to studying.

That answer is simple but why can’t I do it. Facebook and social networking seem to be designed for procrastination purposes.

So...

My paper’s due

What can I do?
