In the past, it was common in our culture for those who play video games to be perceived as too lazy or unmotivated for college, as the hobby is generally attributed to a student’s academic failure.

Avoiding addiction, managing a gaming budget and knowing when to put the controller down and go to bed are a few of many topics I plan to write about in my blog.
