What's Your Distraction?

Members do not see this ad.

So you're trying to study for the MCAT, work on your personal statement, or study for that exam you have tomorrow, but there's something that seems to be distracting you and making you work hard to concentrate on what you're doing.

Ever find yourself in that situation? What're some of your main distractions? Big, loud family? Annoying brother? Favorite show on TV and you just don't have time to watch it but you still want to know what happened? Boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife-related? SDN Forums? etc.

 

[armybound]

the internet, call of duty 4, my wife, food, tv

[Vihsadas]

Gym, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Piano, Cooking and of course...SDN.

 

[NickMB]

Ok, so every time I see a post by you, I blow on my screen monitor because I think that a fly landed on it. I get fooled by it every time. Darn that peripheral vision 😀😀😀

 

[ChubbyChaser]

GF, internet

 

[centersharpie]

TV...I'm a tv addict... and now my favorite thing of all time... HALO... I also like to write... so basically... my whole computer. (I watch most episodes online)

 

[Azadi]

Parrotlets, svedka, internet, food, and boys.

 

[flaahless]

Lil Wayne, SDN, Mario Party 8.

Three kids and a husband, all of which who see my studying as a 'hobby' that I can drop at any second to do something for them.

the girlfriend
...but hey...I'm not complaining

 

[Ebola Virus]

Checking/responding to emails, cooking, watching t.v - House, Shark, Boston Legal, Scrubs, Prison Break, 24.... Oy, the list goes on😳

 

[shippudenfan]

Anything at all that will get my mind off of studying.

The stupidest Simpson's/Family Guy/Futurama jokes seem funnier and always I laugh much harder when there's an MCAT book waiting on my desk.

Even Super Smash Brothers on 64 and solitaire (the two most addictive games on the planet) look so much more fun when you have something to study and shouldn't be doing them.

I'm extremely phobic, so every time, I jump out of my chair.

oh, i forgot to add boohbahs

 

[Drogba]

Vic Bubas?

I didn't know you swung that way. Interesting person to have a guy crush on though.

no, www.boohbah.com

 

[Drogba]

Haha wtf that is even more unexpected. I thought you were immaturely and facetiously referring to breasts, but the phonetics seemed off. That is truly strange. Enjoy your hobby...

 

[HumidBeing]

Blargh does not = guy. Her avatar is not her photo.

 

[THH]

Internet, cause as soon as I sit down to work on something, there it is. The glowing Firefox icon becomes oh-so tempting. I..just..can't resist.

 

[Drogba]

Blargh does not = guy. Her avatar is not her photo.

That avatar is nobody's photo but I didn't think a girl would have it as their avatar. There must be an interesting story behind that and now I realize that Blargh != guy. Still, the boobahs are only a slightly less strange hobby in light of this new information.

How could you?

Good think I use opera, which does not provide the same temptations but does have an infinitely more awesome interface.

[Darktide]

Ive passed my photography business off to my associates, so I'm not working this final semester before I start Medical school... so all I do in my spare time now is Box... I have 4 pro fights from the end of march to the mid of June.... so I run and box a lot now... its a sad, sad, world when ugly gargoyles likeme can only make money by getting punched in the face...

 

[HumidBeing]

This thread. Drogba distracted me.

ROFL. I think we just found a correlative factor for those of us with low GPAs and high MCATs:

BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU.



I'm a Romero Jacare Cavalcanti Blue belt but currently train at Brazilian Top Team Canada. Jacare...what a legend.

 

[TheLesPaul]

Your icon glows?

Music.

 

[Picklesali]

2-7 crew and contemplating the veracity of Stewart University! 😀

 

[flaahless]

Yeah man. It's on the Wii, awesome game for drinking and socializing.

 

[flaahless]

Lil Wayne must've come a long way since the old Cash Money days cus he was pretty weak back then.

Yeah man, he's a beast now. He owned the mixtapes in 2007.

TV, so its kind of ironic that right as the writers strike occurs, its the first semester in years that I haven't had classes... hmm I guess I will just have to find some new distractions! SDN perhaps?
