Just think if that time had been put into education. Or only 1/10th of those hours had been used for volunteering to help others.
As an example, someone only having 200 days of game time played they could have volunteered 480 hours.
And that is only 200 days. Just imagine what it is on all characters.
Get out, learn, help your local community as opposed to your online one. There are hundreds of organizations that could use people. Like animals? Volunteer at the local animal shelter, my youngest daughter, wife and I do that one weekend a month. My other daughters and I also volunteer our professional time as well for people that are unable to afford medical care.
My point is don't sit there in front of a computer screen for what amounts to practically a year and have nothing to show for it. Get out there!! Gain some experience. Having 200-300 days played in WoW won't look as good on your resume/college application as much as 1,000 hours of volunteer time.
Do it now before it is too late!!
