and maybe it’s cause they’re just dumb

facebook_pica new study of undergrad and grad students found that students who used facebook typically have gpas a grade lower than their counter part who don’t use facebook. not surprisingly, 79% of the facebook users don’t believe there’s a link between their gpa and their use of the site.

aryn karpinski, one of the authors of the study, is quick to stay that the study only shows that there’s a relationship between grades and facebook but not that facebook is the direct cause. she offers the suggestion “Maybe [Facebook users] are just prone to distraction. Maybe they are just procrastinators.”
