"Video games are such a waste of time."
One of my biggest pet peeves among other non-nerd girls is when they pipe up on how horrible video games are, as if they're this Satanic thing that crawled out from under a rock and possessed their boyfriends. What makes it worse is how other girls agree instantly, as if video games are a fashion choice or someone to be excluded from the group.
Really? You're gonna call out video games when you spend hours on Pinterest, read overcliched vampire romance books, and watch television with little to no plot except for how Mary-Sue is gonna avoid getting caught cheating with Tall-Dark-and-Handsome? You're gonna call that something worthwhile, while my getting inspired to become greater than I am is a waste of time?
Video games are only a waste of time if that's all they do. If they never bother to socialize or do anything besides game, then it's a problem. But if it's just a hobby, there's nothing wrong with it. The same could be said of everyone's hobbies or passions. Smart people know there's a balance in all things. I have a personal rule: if it's games or socializing, socializing wins.
Hey, why don't you learn how to play video games? Then you and your boyfriend can do it together, and you'll be spending time. Besides, boys love to teach girls how to play. They think it's cute when you don't know what you're doing.
Me? I'm gonna go save the world. See you later.
