My thesis:

Video games adversely affect student's study habits and steal time away from the lives of young minds. 

I've been doing homework for about thirty minutes and decide it's time for a study break. Falling into those comfy couch cushions I grab my sticks and start playing some Call of Duty online... three hours later I've realized that none of my homework is done and it's midnight. Oops. 

When first assigned this essay I had many topic ideas but was having trouble singling one out. Then we did our class exercise and I knew I had found the right one! My paper would be over the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy of the military. I started my research and had everything organized and then... refer to the above paragraph. Yep, I decided I should change my topic. You see, the whole military policy doesn't affect me and so I don't feel it's a strong subject for me. On the other hand, video games do distract me quite often. This paper is going to talk about some of the ways in which video games are a rising problem and hopefully some viable solutions to the said problems. Other than that... 

...sorry I was in an intense game.
