To be honest, I was one of those who is seriously addicted to facebook before, so I could understand the reason why they abnormally check facebook everyday. There are possibly tons of reasons such as to check messages from friends, to play games, to make friends through social media, etc. But the biggest reason is because, as Alice Mathias also states in the article “The Facebook Generation,” “Facebook is a form of escapism for young people.” In my experience, every time I had problems and difficulties, I went to facebook to avoid thinking about my business. After enjoying facebook for a while, I could feel something relieve for some reason. In fact, when seeing posts from friends, there are two kinds of posts. One is talking about a very happy topic such as “Can’t wait to meet to my boyfriend after the sucky midterm tomorrow!!” and the other is talking about a very depressed topic such as “So tired. Want tomorrow to be over now.” The way of expressing their emotion on facebook is different from each other, but both posts look like they are trying to avoid looking at their situation with saying something happy or depressed, and therefore, they should be based on escapism. College students are busy with classes, so they tend to be dependent on something that can make them enjoy and connect with friends easily to make up for their unsatisfactory days.

Well-written! :) I think that's a good point you make. I do think Facebook is a source of escapism for many people - or at least a form of procrastination (as it is for me)!
