I Love My Cats! Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 I should be getting a lot of work done on my Masters Thesis right now (which I am supposed to defend on June 14th), but instead I have been spending a ton of time on Neopets and making a lot of Neopoints!! I feel like whenever I get busy in my life or have something important I need to do I spend more time on Neopets to avoid it. Does anyone else have this problem? Quote
Angeló Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 yes , i have always had this problem lol neopets is most awesome during exams time !!! Quote
GuardianAwesome Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 I know how you feel... whenever I have a lot to do, it seems like Neopets calls to me. Good thing summer's almost here (even though I still have lots of work to do DX) Quote
Ashbash Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 I have that problem too, although I tend to spend more time on FB avoiding school work than neopets. Good luck on your thesis! I hope it goes well! Quote
Secre Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 I knows the feeling only too well. I could almost time my neopets addiction resurfacing as soon as I had essays and exams coming up! In working life it seems to call whenever I have deadlines or chaos revolving around me...which currently seems to be the entire time hence why neopets is nearly always on at least four tabs of my work computer! The Altador Cup is not going to help with this in the slightest either... Quote
GuardianAwesome Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 The Altador Cup is not going to help with this in the slightest either... You're absolutely right, I forgot about that. Plus Scores Galore... Quote
I Love My Cats! Posted May 28, 2012 Author Posted May 28, 2012 I have that problem too, although I tend to spend more time on FB avoiding school work than neopets. Good luck on your thesis! I hope it goes well! Thanks! I am going to need it! I have a whole set of websites that are bad for me, including Facebook, Cracked.com, Huffington Post... I have this program called Leechblock (it's a Firefox add-on) that can prevent you from going to a list of websites for a certain period of time. I want to put Neopets on that list, but then I wouldn't be able to run my Habitarium hahaha. Quote
Ashbash Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Lol I've never heard of anything like that. That sounds like it could definitely help. I don't think I'd be able to put neo on it either. I'd miss my dailies. Quote
lovedwallflower Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 omg i have the exact same problem as the OP. My masters thesis is due VERY soon, and instead i keep fixing my lookup and posting on TDN. aaaa someone block these sites for me!! Quote
Kaito Dark Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 I guess most of us feel the same way. When I have a lot of work, I just use the computer, like now and I hate doing that. Quote
sarria33 Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 I feel like I always do this! But in a way this is a good thing; Neopets helps relieve stress! Quote
gulsanga Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 I study 50% less because of this...they should automaticly freeze us during those important days. Quote
skylee Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 I study 50% less because of this...they should automaticly freeze us during those important days. haha! sorry this made me laugh. i wish it could automatically freeze me right now. i have a huge project due next week. Quote
I Love My Cats! Posted June 14, 2012 Author Posted June 14, 2012 I just successfully defended my Masters Thesis this morning! So, although Neopets has been a time-suck, I still got it done! :) Quote
