A survey at my college found that 62% of first-years feel lonely at least once a week. According to Granovetter's idea of weak ties, a big network of casual contacts can bring information but not close support, so scrolling through hundreds of acquaintances may leave students with few people to lean on. Students who spend more time online may therefore skip clubs and dorm events, which are the places where strong ties form. That is why colleges should help students spend less time on their phones.\n\nRUBRIC (Prof. Danner), 3 criteria:\n1. Clear claim.\n2. Evidence with a citation (author, year).\n3. Links to a course concept (weak ties, anomie, etc.).\n\nMy worry: grammar.
