Urban Dictionary defines addiction as when you do something more times than a frat boy says the word bro in one day. We all are addicts. Some fall victim to Twitter, Facebook, or Snapchat. Others have a guilty pleasure of shoes, food, or spending money. We all have that one strange addiction though. The problem may not be as bizarre as the ones people have on the television show My Strange Addictions, but their is still that overruling question of WHY CAN'T I STOP?
I am a true addict of Candy Crush. Most people have heard of the game or maybe even played it. I claim the name of The Ultimate Candy Crusher. Okay you caught me. My real name is Leah, and technically I have never been named such thing. I am an addict though. The true kind that wastes at least two hours everyday and often times more than that. I even play it in class. Of course there is always the risk of getting caught with my phone out, but Candy Crush is worth it. I stay up passed midnight every night often just trying to beat another level. Recently, I have had a problem of being sick. It is more than likely caused from lack of sleep, dehydration, eating gluten, or maybe even a mix of all of them. BUT, Candy Crush is worth it.
At this point you all think I need mental help, I understand your concerns and I am in the process of getting my life back. After I beat level 79, I promise I will work on playing less. I have been stuck on this unbeatable level since two weeks ago, and I have tried over 50 times to beat it. Mission Impossible will one day be possible. I keep trying and trying and I continue to fail. I have just come to the realization that the reason I wrote this blog about Candy Crush was in desperate hope that one of you could beat level 79 for me. I played three lives of Candy Crush before I got the motivation to write this blog, and I will more than likely play at least three or more before I go to bed.
I like how you always use humor to right your posts. Using the jokes in the beginning a great way to start off. You wrote this really good and you didn't stray off topic. Keep on doing what you're doing. (:
ReplyDeleteI loved the joke at the beginning and your introduction! It was truely awesome! I wrote a blog about addictions too,but I liked yours a lot better. I loved all the humor and personal experience you put into it. I hope you pass level 79 soon! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI really like how your personality can always show through! I think that is why I feel like everything you write is so interesting to read! I have faith in you that you will tackle level 79, but for stopping after that level? Im really not sure about that. Great job!
ReplyDeleteOh Leah (:. This just made me smile the whole time! You definately conquered the addiction part of electronics! I know how easy it is when you have the apps on your phone! I personally am a victim to Hay Day. But I think you did a good job explaining how you feel and took a unique topic and turned it into a good read! Good work!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great game, and I'd probably be in the same boat you are if I owned a smart phone. You always write exactly how you would say something, which is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI kind of thought your last couple of jokes were sub par but this one stepped it up. As far as the paper goes, I thought you had a very strong intro paragraph. It flowed really well and did a good job of opening for the rest of the piece. I too was addicted to candy crush. Don't worry, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You will make it out.
ReplyDeleteLeah, Your writing flows well in this piece. . . even for an addict, very honest and funny. Your voice also comes through, which along with your classmates, I appreciate.
