On the first day of class, my professor assigned a task that most students would shudder to think about: abstaining from social media. Well, not all social media, just our favorite site for communicating with the masses. In my case, that meant Facebook. For two whole days, I had to restrain myself from signing in to my lifeline and forgo the satisfaction from the constant stream of status updates from my peers.
As a self-admitted Facebook addict, the first 12 hours were something close to torture. Several times I found myself typing www.faceb... before realizing what I was doing. However, I persevered. Eventually it became easier. The “Facebook cravings” I had slowly became less intense, but over those 48 hours, they never truly went away.
