Can't Stop, Won't Stop

If you were to unlock my iphone 5 the first thing you would see would be social media apps. These would include Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Facebook, Snapchat, and Yik Yak. If you were to open my laptop and look at my bookmarks you would find Netflix, Spotify, and Youtube.  So I guess it's safe to say that I really enjoy social media. Whether it's posting pictures on Instagram or binge watching Orange Is The New Black on Netflix.

I first started using social media when I was in 7th grade. I had just gotten a Facebook and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. You could communicate with people from everywhere and if you were friends you could even see their pictures. I  was so excited because I hadn't seen anything like it. Then all of a sudden there was something called Instagram. What was an Instagram? But I had to have one, everyone did! It was the new Facebook. This trend continued with Snapchat, Twitter, Tumblr, and Yik Yak. 

One of my favorite things in the entire world, is watching Netflix on rainy days with a cup of hot chocolate with sweats on. Though I usually watch Netflix more than just on rainy days, because then I would be watching Netflix about 4 times a year, due to this drought we are currently in. Netflix has become a nightly thing whether I'm watching Friends or Greys Anatomy I have just become so accustomed to it. 

Social media and other types of media have been so encompassed into my life that I feel that I cannot stop. I feel a need to share the pictures I take and post what comes to my mind on Twitter. I need to listen to music while walking down the halls during school and watch some Netflix before bed. I guess you could say I'm a little obsessed.
