After a recent chat with CC Editor Alex, we came to the conclusion that the Internet is basically the ideal man. Before you think we’re crazy, hear us out! We were talking about how amazingly useful the Internet is, just like a good BF is meant to be. And I know this is a “no duh!” kind of statement, but it’s true! We continued talking about how the Internet is the ultimate boyfriend and actually thought there might be something to this crazy concept. It’s (he’s) filled with everything and anything you could ever possibly want. It’s the ultimate tool for life! It (he) never talks back, it (he) doesn’t judge you and your Google searches, it (he) lets you vent and write in an online diary and those secrets are always kept safe!

So in lieu of our recent convo, I decided to come up with a bunch of reasons why my relationship with the Internet is the best I have ever been in. (Sorry ex-boyfriends of my life, but not really.)

Katie is finishing up her undergrad at North Central College in Naperville, Illinois. She enjoys wasting hours on Facebook and tweeting things no one cares about. When asked the question, “Do you do marathons?” She promptly responds, “Of course! Which show?” Follow her @KatieGarrity!

If you are unable to come up with a solid number to answer this question (because the number of times has been so great), you may be what is commonly known as a “Cyberslacker”.

Don’t panic!

According to Trendhunter.com, a recent survey done by Salary.com concluded that 6 out of every 10 workers openly admits to wasting time at work. The same survey indicates that 34% of these people use the Internet as their main tool to procrastinate.

Although we’re not holed up in cubicles just yet, college students face this very same challenge on a daily basis.

How do you buckle down and get that paper written without straying to good old Facebook to see who changed their interests in the last 6 minutes?

If you’re a student, build up some self-discipline. If you are heading out into the workforce, however, you may not need to change your procrastinating ways.

Surprisingly, some employers believe that this illegal down time may actually be beneficial to productivity in the long run. By taking short breaks during the day, employees will not take extended lunch hours or completely burn themselves out.

Reading the latest news on PerezHilton.com or laughing at a funny website may be just the thing to inspire workers to relax and delve back into their assignments.

This same rule may be applicable to college students. If a student is able to control their surfing, a short break on the Internet may ultimately help get you in the mood to churn out that research paper. If you don’t get carried away on those few notoriously addictive websites, you may be doing yourself a favor by giving yourself a small rest.

If you are prone to stray from your duties, don’t let that cyberslacker mentality take hold. Erase Facebook, disconnect your Internet, do whatever it takes to stay strong and get your work done!
