You're talking to a friend about Facebook. You are trying not to use it. You want to explain why to your friend. You say:
It's such a waste of time.
a waste of time
When something is "a waste of time", it means that you spend a lot of time doing it, but don't get any benefits from it in the end. This is a common phrase people use when they're talking about things that:
- they have to do but don't want to do (like waiting in a line)
- they want to do but don't think are useful (like playing video games or using some websites)
(someone) is such a (something)
The word "such" is similar to "so" except it's used with nouns instead of adjectives:
He's so handsome.
I used to be so lazy.
You're so goofy.
He's such a good-looking man.
