For years now many students, parents and professors have voiced their opinion of how beer interferes with student studies and keeps them from achieving the level of success they're able to reach. Theirs been studies of how alcohol causes college students to dropout, flunkout, and receive bad grades and this issue doesn’t seem to be getting better. I personally have been consuming alcohol since the ages of 16 on a regular basis and I feel that if I didn’t drink as much I would have done a lot better in my college career.
But over the past few years I noticed another distraction among college students that is less influential, but at the same time has a huge impact on their studies. Whenever I walk into the library I always notice students are on Facebook, and a lot of times I noticed students are on Facebook during class while they should be taking notes. Personally, Facebook distracts me from my work a lot more than having hangovers or partying on the weekends. It’s hard to focus on studies when a cute I like keeps messaging me on Facebook.
The past year or 2 I’ve stopped drinking as much with the hopes of receiving better grades because it’s hard enough for me to focus as it is. But the same time I slowed down on drinking I started using Facebook and I can honestly say that my grades were better before I started Facebook.
