New Addiction

-->

I think we all know the problem of sitting in front of the computer, having to study and doing nothing for university at all. The distractions I use most often are stupid computer games and youtube videos. I play computer games when I am supposed to study even if in general I don't like playing computer games at all. I always think it is a waste of time. Obviously not when I should study. ;) Still, youtube is even worse. I open it because I want to listen to a specific song while studying and I never close it again. My latest youtube addiction are Dan and Phil. I don't know if you know them or not. They are two British guys who basically make youtube videos. They started in 2009 and are still going. They don't even do crazy stuff or especially amusing things, they just talk. They talk about things they like or don't like, about embarrassing things that happened to them or they play truth or dare. They got quite famous via youtube and now have their own radio show on BBC radio one. One thing I use as an excuse for spending so much time watching them is that they also do some videos on different English accents. For example, they did one video called “How To Speak Northern” in which a friend of theirs from Northern England tests Dan on Northern vocabulary. They also did one video where they tried to do an American accent. The other excuse I use is that watching English videos counts as listening practice. ;) I don't know why but I just can't stop watching their stuff. If you also want to waste some of your time I give you the links to their channels here:
