In this episode of Campus Current, we dive into the digital vortex that’s reshaping student life — social media. From the late-night scrolls to dopamine-driven app designs, Hooked on the Scroll explores how platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat are impacting college students’ mental health, focus, and relationships. With voices from real students and insight from a behavioral psychologist, this audio documentary unpacks both the power and the pressure of living online.

Is social media just a distraction — or has it become something deeper? And more importantly, can we take back control?
