Facebook and grades: The debate continues
A small study presented at an education conference last month showed a link between Facebook use and lower grades — but stressed that the findings don't prove that one leads to the other. It unleashed a media frenzy across the globe.
Now, a new study, published this week, finds the two variables are "likely unrelated."

As a freshman at Lewis and Clark College I listened to the president encourage us, "don't waste even 5 minutes of your precious time." Â
Each of us has a part that tends to self-sabotage. Â Wasting time is a great way to self-punish. Â (Like I just did now, writing this response.)
So, THE NET CAN BE A TIME VACUUM. Â Keep your head down.
