Bye bye Social Media

It's been almost a month and a half and I haven't touched any form of social media. No Facebook, no Twitter, never have had an instagram account.

I'm not sure what made me stop using social media, but I can say that i've been getting a lot more work done. Instead of procrastinating papers and assignments by going on FB and Twitter, i've just been getting my work done in a timely fashion, and the quality of the work seems to be much better.

I have nothing against social media, i just grew out of it. I don't need to see what stupid quizzes or surveys my friends are taking.

If my friends want to get a hold of me, they have my phone number. Facebook wasn't the end all of communication, it was just another form of it.

I feel better without being on Facebook and other sites. I know eventually i'll probably reactivate my account, but right now i dont miss it and havent even thought about going on it since i got rid of it.

Tough Guise II

After watching most of Tough Guise II, the thing that really stands out to me is how much media downplays the violence that occurs when men commit that violence.

Its astonishing how when a school shooting occurs, the media just talks about an incident or shooting occurring and never talk about how it's all male shooters and that it's usually men who commit these crimes.

However, when women are fighting or doing criminal things, its always blown up in the media about how its women being violent against each other.
