social media impacts on students

People always think when they have a new notification on Facebook for a friend request or check their twitter account see how many people are following them, also presume that there actual friends and always try to chat with them to start talking to them or get to know them. These Social Media take talking to people in a whole new direction, and make it easier to communicate to people from a computer screen or phone screen distance, instead of meeting them in person and just basing them on their profile pictures and photo’s on these sites. More and more people rely on these websites to start relationships and make new friends, yeah its okay to do these things not knowing the consequences of not knowing someone and just seeing their profile think their pretty cool, but it’s a risk that most people take as well. In college, most students will meet people, add them on Facebook and think there friends and stuff, well being a Facebook friend or a Twitter follower doesn’t really mean anything only that you added them and that’s it. These websites can be dangerous, but there mostly dangerous for college students trying to do work or study for a big test the next day. Social media websites and technology are benefits to our lives, but are major distractions as well that keep us away from the more important things that we have to get done instead of loading Youtube videos or updating my Twitter every 5 minutes. The time we use on such websites or on our phone add up and we spend more time all these things that could be used towards a greater purpose instead for our own pleasure or use these as a getaway from life’s real problems. People are on these websites 24/7 and affects many students needing to study for a big test or do a project the next get distracted and look on facebook every 5 minutes. Like me i check facebook daily, its just a habit many cant stop and got hooked on already, but there are ways to stop it but its up to you how mentally strong you are to not check your social media sites and keep your head in the books instead of in the computer screen.

football is finally over

well its been a long grueling season, but football is finally over and im so relieved i have so much extra time to myself! i never thought i would feel so happy having football season be over, but i need a break for once and with all this free time i could finally catch up on sleep and raise my grades after having them pretty low trying to juggle around football and academics. football was a long grueling process that challenged us mentally and pysically from day one all the way to the very end which was hard to see after going through all the pain and suffering for a couple months of football we all looked forward too. But like everything else in this world, it has to come to an end sooner or later and cant last forever. But this experience has taught me that nobody what comes in your way, just keep on going and dont look back. these last couple of months were probably some of the most pain enduring, mentally straining times i ever experience, but just going through everything and seeing what college football players go through just to have a couple months of playing is pretty unbelievable to me knowing that put in all that time and effort to succeed in one sport that is more than just a game to most people. I know im transferring and its not going to be the same anywhere else, but this experience its self has taught me so much and made me a better person mentally and pysically, and i think i could take any challenge or obstacle that comes my way after going through this experience.
Football is going to be tough anywhere anybody goes, like me after the first day i felt like giving up thinking i couldnt get through the two weeks of bootcamp that forced many guys to quit not being able to handle it all. I got through everything knowing that its only a couple of weeks of pain you have to endure until schoot starts and football practice starts as well. Well football was fun but now to move on to the next and see what oppurtunities come my way.
