College Students are not focused

Students are not as focused as they once were. This is due to advancements in technology, hating of
classes, and the craving for social interactions, according to findcollegecards.com.
Jamie Birdwell, junior professional writing major says “I lose focus all of the time, especially this week!” Birdwell says that she would rather be face- booking and relaxing with friends than studying sometimes.
StateUniversity.com says that students enjoy their independence in being away from home at college but soon realize that a large amount of responsibility comes with this new found independence.
Students become burnt-out and discouraged because of course work load and quit regardless of GPA, according to StateUniversity.com.
Jamie Birdwell says in order to stay focused on school work “I will get off facebook, go to the living room and do homework with my roommate, and it’s kind of motivational for me.” Studies have shown studying with a group versus studying alone does improve focus and decreases college drop-out rates.
