Today I canceled my WoW subscription and uninstalled any game and/or game related program (excluding Nvidia). It was a hard choice, but I have to go with my gut.
Since graduation, I have slowly noticed nearly every one of my former classmates succeeding and surpassing every aspect of my current daily life. I had such a half assed state of mind in my first 3 months of college. I wouldn't get enough sleep, I'd pull all-nighters playing WoW, and sleep 60% of the day. I thought that the web could make up for the huge amount of information I chose to ignore in lectures. I dropped out before my second semester even started. Ever since, I've been embarrassed to tell people what was going on, when their lives are in a whole nother' chapter.
I had always been fascinated with universal sciences and quantum theory. Although that is not my main focus, it is much more productive and inspiring than gaming. It will be a healthy side hobby. I'm not saying gaming is unhealthy for the general public, but for me, it has only caused problems in my life and I can't seem to limit myself. I'll tell myself "1 more hour". Before I know it, it has been 5+ hours.
Will I stop playing wow? No, but I expect to leave for a long, long time. Hopefully when I return, Ill have a lots of GF'd stuff and friends to return to! I also wish this site to prosper and the community to stay in tact!
In the mean time, I will be catching up on basic algebra and physics, and slowly prepping myself for my return to college, with a clean mindset! From there on, I will give my all in studies, and further enlightenment!
