This study investigates the impact of social media usage on academic performance among college students. A survey was conducted with 250 participants from a large public university, gathering data on their social media habits and grade point averages (GPAs). The results indicate a significant negative correlation between excessive social media use and academic achievement. Students who spent more than 3 hours per day on social media platforms had lower GPAs than those with more moderate usage. The findings suggest the need for better time management strategies and awareness programs to help students balance their online activities with academic responsibilities.
