    Two classes, Criminal Justice and Ethnic Studies. I believed they were required, still that was not the case. Wasted 6 weeks and $2,000.

    that would be "FACEBOOK". Its totally a waste of time and i don't understand why a look of people share everything about their life on that site. Though i also use Facebook, last year i have spend about 3-4 hours a day on Facebook, but now i limit myself to only 1 hour.

    I would have to say Facebook,but then I don't spend much time there either.I just go to see what my friends and enemies and grandchildren are up to. I guess I spend 2 hours per week,but it's enjoyable to see what far-away relatives are doing.


    Going to Florida in 2012 was a waste of time and money because it was cold there,and this year is not much better!

    Watching television. There were so many other things I could have been doing with my son than letting him watch Team Umizoomi and Dora.

    I can say that so much was a waste of time when we look back, however we did it anyway. How about 2011, if you were studying in 2011 or taking classes, chances were that in 2012 you still were. If you decided its a waste of time doing what you did you would not be doing it now.

    So anything we did was just an experience while traveling the path were suppose to be on. Without those things we found a "waste of time" we would not be on our path to our destiny. We are where we are for a reason.

    The reason will surface now.

    watching TV , facebook and twitter. I don't spend time on these sites except posting my new hubs. I also hate those people who play online facebook games too. Waste of money and time.

    The biggest waste of my time is my INSP (N=non). I'll click on a link and too often wait several minutes for anything to happen. Frequently I have to pull out the plugs on the modem, let it cool?, plug them back in, and wait and hope for it to come back up--usually it does. My INSP does not like snow. And blackouts at the Sprint tower occur once in awhile. Otherwise the computer may work for longer spells, but slowly, and videos are either painful or impossible. Somehow I've been able to get things done, but when I think about it, I realize I could have accomplished 100 or 1000 times more. This is not just a waste of time, but a big waste of life. This is the fifth INSP I've had. Cable and DSL are not available in this area. So this is one reason I want to move!

    Probably Facebook for me, and internet browsing. There is always just one more thing to click and read. This year I have been trying to make a more conscious effort not to waste time online.

    Watching and commenting on U.S. politics as shown on TV news. Absolutely nothing gained and lots of losses.  In a word "Hopeless".
