From playing video games, to spending hours scrolling through social media. 
My favorite time wasters are definitely twitter and tumblr.
I work a lot so I don't really watch television, but when I do have a day off I am usually binge watching whatever new show I've found.]]> 2016-09-13 14:33:37 UTC https://padlet.com/cjefferson24/9f7uhijhjo4h/wish/123469899 What is the cost to me and others of my wasting time? cjefferson24 https://padlet.com/cjefferson24/9f7uhijhjo4h/wish/123470011 I do waste a lot of my free time doing things that do not need to be done.
But I also get done what I need to, if anything the only things I neglect are my chores, but that is honestly because I work so much and am never home.
I make sure I make time for everything and everyone that is important and that is all that matters.]]> 2016-09-13 14:33:52 UTC https://padlet.com/cjefferson24/9f7uhijhjo4h/wish/123470011 Video Games cjefferson24 https://padlet.com/cjefferson24/9f7uhijhjo4h/wish/123470338 Video games have been a constant waste of time since their beginning. It is said that 42% of Americans spend at least 3 hours a week playing some sort of game on a console or handheld device.
I personally do not play video games that much, but when I do, I play for a long time, me and my girlfriends favrote game to play together is Assassin's Creed, she is definitely addicted.]]> 2016-09-13 14:34:29 UTC https://padlet.com/cjefferson24/9f7uhijhjo4h/wish/123470338 Television/Online Streaming cjefferson24 https://padlet.com/cjefferson24/9f7uhijhjo4h/wish/123470514 Statistics say that the average american adult watches an average of 33 hours of television per week. This is not including online streaming sites such as Netflix and Hulu. 
Online media streaming has slowly become more popular than the viewing of actual live cable/satellite television. ]]> 2016-09-13 14:34:47 UTC https://padlet.com/cjefferson24/9f7uhijhjo4h/wish/123470514 Social Media cjefferson24 https://padlet.com/cjefferson24/9f7uhijhjo4h/wish/123471176 Social media is now ranked #1 on the list of America's time wasters. 
Social media is a way to connect with people all over the world, find entertainment, and also just have fun. This pulls many people in.
The average teenager spends most of their day on their cell phones, even in school. 
My personal social media sites are Twitter, Snapchat, and Tumblr.]]> 2016-09-13 14:35:49 UTC https://padlet.com/cjefferson24/9f7uhijhjo4h/wish/123471176
