Hello guys, my dad just got us a broadband connection and since then, I've been on the computer for more than 10 hours everyday! The problem is, I'm still studying and I'm at my third year in college and I don't want my studies to suffer. I have a life outside of the computer. But when I get out and get home, I'm already too tired to read or study anything. I'm always telling myself that I want to study and I have to. But the will is weak and I don't know what to do. Anyone have a suggestion for me?

only you can solve your probs,control your self, but to tell you the truth, internet is really addictive, anyway, look for an option where you can spend your extra time, aside from computer, how about sports?..

Hey dude! It's just a matter of discipline. Do first the important things which is studying and after that you won't get worried if your studies will suffer. Also, I believe that resting does not include surfing the net. If you think that you will get a rest through that, you're wrong. You're getting your eyes tired as well as your hands. =)
