Are you a student? Stop using Twitter, Hyves, Facebook or whatever social medium you are using! Turn off your computer (not just yet, but in a minute or two), your mobile phone, every single item you have that links you to the world of social media.
The Telegraaf wrote an article about a research, executed at the University of Maryland, that proved that students of this University are addicted to social media. Two-hundred students were asked to stay away from all types of social media for a period of one day.

After 24 hours, many students showed withdrawal symptoms, matching the symptoms that appear when someone has an addiction to alcohol or drugs. The students were not able to function normally without their social connections. Not being able to text, chat, mail or use Facebook were things that students seemed to miss the most.
So, for all the people who were not included in this research: Maybe there is still hope for you! Try to stay away from all social media now and then. Take a day off. It might keep you from turning into an addict.
PS 1: Keep reading my blog though ;).
