couch potato

television would be best friend of ideal people because they spend most of their time on the couch watching television all the time and this has many circumstances like weight gain, anxiety, etc. we should avoid it because it does not give anything than just making us busy in useless things (not completely useless if we watch good channels) and we should keep on trying to get a job because that what we always want we can watch our favorite programs after our work and we have sites like Youtube where we can watch them any time.

Now a days most of the persons whoever finished their graduations are busy with the job search. At that time they are spending a lot of time in the home and turned as couch potato without doing anything. Simply they are eating, watching TV or browsing internet, hangout with their friends and search for their job for some time. This kind of activities may give enjoyment and pleasure for the present, but it will spoil the future. If you finished your graduation and searching for a job, why don't you try to improve your skills in your field by attending some additional classes and courses? or help the persons whoever doing graduation in your field? it will help you to improve your skills and knowledge as well as you will be updated in your field. Don't waste your time being an idle person, even a second wasted is irrecoverable. Use your time in a good manner and learn various things in this kind of free time. Now our world is improved a lot and great competition is going on in almost all the fields, if you don't improve your skills and knowledge and remain with the same knowledge of the college education, it is really hard to get a good job. Also you can join as a trainee in some company which is related to your field, it will give some experience to you. Don't care about the salary at the beginning and grab the experience in your free time. Being a couch potato turns you as a lazy person, you will find a lot of inconvenience after getting the job. Don't waste your time. Use it in a good way to gain knowledge and update your self to face the competition in the present world.

I know what you mean. I am unemployed and even though I have unemployment for the rest of the year, I hate not working and I know I will find something. With that being said, long time ago, like over 20 years, I was at a relatives house during one of the holidays and General Hospital was on. I got hooked! It was during the Luke and Laura days. I imagine there are many mylotters that don't know what I'm talking about. Just ask your parents. It was really a sensation. People that usually didn't watch soap operas watched it.

I guess I would be termed as a couch potato. I am retired and write online. I usually have the tv on and have certain shows I have to see. I think as long as a person does other things and is productive being a tv watcher isn't a problem. It is when a person starts making excuses and doesn't do anything that the couch potato thing comes in. And why can't you do other things besides JUST watching tv? Go for walks, exercise, do hobbies, etc.

i guess you'll end up working at a call center soon

Hello kamaeca Congratulations on beccoming a Registed Nurse. Are you seeking employment in your new field? What is your specialty? Welcome to the myLot.

I was a couch potato at one stage in my life after finishing university but I was still looking for a job and eventually got one. I found sitting around doing nothing was boring for me and so I satrted finding other things to do. Now I try to fill my life with hobby, skills and other things to take away the boredom, only down side is that im in a ob that I dont like at the moment but at least it pays for all my hobbies.

I am a registered nurse too and been a couch potato for a year. It really hard to find a nursing job nowadays since lots of nurses here in our country but lack of hospital job opportunities for us. I became registered nurse last 2007, work in the hospital after a year in the province but after two years I decided to resigned and work here in the city as a private duty nurse. The salary was quite promising than in the hospital and also less stressful. Goodluc

Congratulations, I will go to work as you, I will be a teacher to teach psychology. I am afraid that when I work I have no time shopping, resting and so on. And now I might be called couch potato as you. The happy time will past. Best wishes to you and me.

Hahaha! I WAS a couch potato. Actually, I'm one every year end when I have holidays from schooling. I could literally hang out in my pajamas all day on the couch catching up with the tv series I missed, ( last year was Merlin xD) scrolling around my iPod, snacking, napping around and reading around ( some novels ). I could just lay on the couch and stay there from sun rise till sun set. I'm a bit lucky cause I can't really get fat easily. But other than that, I think I qualify to be a certified couch potato! xD

What country are you from? Congratulations on getting your nurse's registration by the way. Good luck on your job hunting. It can be tough since competition for nurses is very tight, I hear. I guess you'll just have to enjoy your couch potato days for awhile... but you'd have to contend with your parents following you up for employment every once in a while. Would you also consider a home-based job if an opportunity for you pops? Just asking.
