1 . How to Avoid an Internet Addiction
It may seem like everyone surfs the web these days. But if you can’t have interest in other aspects of your life because of the Internet, you may be on your way to an Internet addiction. You might fear you’re the only one who has experienced that feeling.
More and more people in the world are becoming addicted to the Internet, and you are not the only one with this problem. So do not be embarrassed. Just be brave to admit that you are on your way to an Internet addiction. And then find others with the same problem and help each other beat it.
Set aside limited time for computer use.
Make sure not to turn it on too many times a week. If you have a laptop, make sure to put it somewhere that you can remember but not somewhere that you see every day. Try keeping the lid closed when you are not using it.
Call people instead of sending instant messages or texts.
If you are free on weekends, call friends and ask them to go outside to do something you enjoy, like playing a sport. This will take your mind off the computer.
Use an alarm clock or timer (计时器).
Before using your computer, decide on a time limit such as 30 minutes. Set the clock or timer and make sure that you get away from the computer when the time is up. Alternatively create a shutdown timer on your desktop.

3 . We love all types of hugs, from the one-armed hug to full bear hugs. Open up your heart and your arms on January 21 for National Hugging Day! As you might guess, this day is a yearly event.
Here are some facts about the big day National Hugging Day was created in 1986 by Kevin Zaborney. Zabomey chose January 21 because it was the time between the winter holiday season and the new year’s birthday, which he noticed was a time people tended to feel in low spirits. He also felt that Americans were too embarrassed to show love in public.
Nowadays, we don’t even think about the fact that hugging in public was considered improper.

7 . China’s tea culture has undergone dramatic, changes in recent years. The appearance of new-style teas can be traced back to the cheap roadside milk tea stands of the 1990s. Most of these drinks were made from powdered mixes and contained neither fresh milk nor fresh tea. The base ingredients weren’t updated until the arrival of Taiwan-based brands like CoCo and A Little Tea in the 2000s, leading to innovations such as “cheese tea”. These businesses started the “Milk Tea 2.0” era, transforming the milk tea business from a mixture of small stands into a standardized and fast-moving industry.
But even as the Taiwan-centric “Milk Tea 2.0” revolution was sweeping the world, the seeds of its next evolution were already sprouting (发芽) on the Chinese mainland. In 2012, a 21-year-old man named Nie Yunchen opened a milk tea store in the small southern city of Jiangmen, where he sold milk tea. By 2020, Nie’s HeyTea had 695 stores worldwide; was worth an estimated, 16 billion yuan, and had attracted a large number of imitators.
The new brands made their mark, by offering a more diverse range of tea bases, often with extras like seasonal fruit sparkling water, cream cheese or nuts.
The viability (可行性) of this business model owes much to China’s widespread embrace of high-end consumerism. Jason Yu, general manager of the market research firm Kantar World panel China, told me that “mothers with refined tastes”, urban white-collar workers, and those born after 1990 are the main drivers of Chinas new-style tea market—and, more broadly, the consumer market as a whole. These groups tend to be defined by busywork and home lives, and they see upscale drinks like tea and coffee not only as a way to quench their thirst (解渴), but also as a source of comfort. In this sense, new-style teas are filling a psychological, rather than a physical need. Many tea brands are aware of this and they have sought to associate themselves with healthy and relaxed lifestyle through their marketing campaigns.
Another driver of new-style tea consumption, according to Yu, is the desire among young people to combine consumption with social activity. “The goal of consumption for this generation of consumers is socializing,” Yu, said “You rarely see a person drinking Hey Tea by himself.”

9 . I thought I was ready for the challenges of graduate school. However, when I left Nepal to pursue my PhD in a new country, I felt as if I had dropped into an enormous ocean. Instead of being the outgoing person I had been, I suddenly became a shy girl. What’s worse, my research wasn’t progressing, leading me to put in more fruitless hours.
Just then, a friend asked what I would do if I had an extra hour every day. Without hesitation, I said I would use it to help others. After that conversation, I began to search online for volunteer opportunities. Luckily, a local organization that drives old people to stores and appointments was looking for volunteers. I thought it might be just what I needed.
I was a bit anxious before my first ride because I hadn’t interacted much with people outside school. However, my nerves quickly calmed when I picked up an old woman on her way to the supermarket. She was bemused to see a young foreign driver and was full of questions about my background. She shared with me how thankful she was to go shopping and get some fresh air. Connections like these and the smiles on my passenger’ faces motivated me to continue driving.
Sharing stories with my passengers was rewarding. Seeing how eager they were to spend time out inspired me to think about how to spend my time. My previously challenging schedule began to feel manageable. As my confidence grew, I began telling my fellow students about the ups and downs in my research and I was surprised to discover that we were in the same boat. As these connections grew, my personality began to reappear.
I’m now close to completing my degree but still facing challenges. My adviser moved to a different university. I’m working to publish my research while also applying for jobs. But these hurdles (难关) now seem easy. I’m really proud of who I have become, and I continue to reflect on how I’m using the most valuable thing in life: my time.
