My confession: I AM ADDICTED TO INTERNET (Tips)

Hai! 

It's been a while since the last time I posted in this blog. The sixth semester was make me gone mad. Never ending assignments, tasks and papers were succeed to grasp my spare time. It was common for me to sleep after midnight, at certain moment when I had assignments to be submitted I even sleep at 3 a.m with laptop still on, woke up at 6 a.m to finish all the things and went to my campus in rush. I think almost everyday I nearly fallen asleep in almost all my morning classes and to make it worst, I always sat in the very front row in the class, so...yes, I am sure the lecturer always caught me. Taking notes was not really helping because sometimes I scrawled things on a paper which I didn't even know what it means. The way I chose to shoo sleepy feeling away was excuse myself to the toilet and while I walked I stretch my body as if I was going to exercise, in the toilet I splashed my face with water in a hope I could wake up. Sometimes it worked, sometimes not. Thank God, I could pass the whole semester in relieve...well, yeah, not really because only two subjects which the final grades is already announced, but anyway, let's hope for the best!

In the past few months, I discovered that I am addicted to smartphone, to make it more detail: to internet and its social media. In the very beginning of my sixth semester, I often found myself laid on my bed scrolled Instagram, Twitter and Facebook feed at 6:30 am while I had class at 7 am. I did shout to myself, "GET UP! YOU HAVE A CLASS IN THIRTY MINUTES!!!" but my phone was more attempting than the lecture. At one point, when I felt I have to take an action, I decided to uninstall my Instagram and Twitter application, now there are only LINE and Opera Mini which stay installed in my phone. Oh, I still set Twitter and Facebook as bookmarks, though, I don't want to live in a cave you know. Then, I googled for tips and tricks escaping from internet addiction but I found them not suit me. And, finally, I seek for my own way to escape from this addiction. The process is not instant, failure is a common thing since I am not a discipline person. Here are few ways I do to reduce my addiction. 

P.S: I am still working on it therefore I cannot say that I have succeeded myself, but I can see my addiction is reduced step by step.
