Social media continues to have a big impact on college students. Spending a lot of time on it can take away from studying, in-person social activities, and even sleep, which can contribute to stress, anxiety, or feelings of isolation. At the same time, social media is still the main way many students communicate and stay connected with friends, classmates, and campus life, so it isn’t all negative. The Forbes article highlights this balance, showing that while overuse can harm mental health and focus, it also serves an important role in keeping students connected. It’s really about how students use it and making sure it doesn’t replace face-to-face interaction or take too much time away from other priorities.https://www.forbes.com/sites/petersuciu/2022/12/12/social-media-continues-to-affect-the-health-of-college-students/?sh=14cc402a7d7c
