I\u2019m pretty low key when it comes to social media to begin with (I forget I have it half the time!) so a complete unplugging would probably wouldn\u2019t be that much different than what I do now.<\/p>\n<p>Now that I\u2019ve spent a few days \u201cunplugged\u201d it was a little harder than I imagined. I think the hardest thing about it was feeling out of the loop, especially when friends would ask me if I was going to such-and-such event and I had no idea what they were talking about because it was a Facebook only invite. But overall it wasn\u2019t too bad\u2014I found I had a lot less stress when I wasn\u2019t worrying about Facebook updates or racing to get on Twitter between classes. So in the process I learned that social media tends to create a lot more stress in my life than anything. Sitting quietly 5 minutes before class starts is a lot more calming than frantically checking my Facebook page.<\/p>\n<p>I think a good compromise between social media and the social world is to disconnect them somewhat from one another. Mainly I think when you\u2019re out and about in the social world you should try putting social media to the side and instead focus on making genuine connections with the people around you. Basically I would suggest using social media only when it doesn\u2019t infringe on your interaction with the social world. So don\u2019t be checking your Twitter newsfeed when you\u2019re meeting your best friend for coffee!<\/p>\n<p>I really enjoyed \u201cunplugging\u201d for a few days! I definitely think it\u2019s going to be something I start incorporating into my everyday life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reflection #2 : Social Media Withdraw \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Without having experienced a complete social media withdraw I think I would have to say I don\u2019t think it would really affect my daily routine.
