(IF YOU'RE IN COLLEGE, ANSWER THIS) Should I delete social media?

I have twitter and I feel like it's impacting my life. I'm in college and whenever I study or work on an assignment, I find myself distracted by clicking on the website, and scroll through the timeline for hours. And then boom, it's 8pm. It's the reason why I'm so behind on my studies. I think I should delete it because I care about my future and I wanna become successful (I wanna be a doctor). but at the same time I have like 334 followers lol and it's nice but I should delete it for good I think. People are too toxic and it does no good for my brain.

imo you should delete social media or at least take a break. it’s really good for both your mental health and for your grades as you’ll be less likely to get distracted or waste time on twitter, instagram, snap... etc. once you’re done with school or caught up with your you can always redownload or log back into your accounts. the people in social media are very toxic and cause pointless drama. since you’re trying to become a doctor i personally believe you should at least limit how often you’re on your phone/on social media or apps that constantly get you distracted. if you think it’ll be hard to put your phone away and focus on your work, use screen time and try to keep you daily usage under 3, 4, 5, 6 whatever hours or so. you can always put a time limit on social media as well

Answer:

I think you should delete it because as you said it is distracting you. I think you should just focus on your studies if that is the most important thing to you
