The Stardom Magazine | Debut Issue 11
The more attractive you are, the better
your grades at campus.
No doubt, right? A recent study, “Physical Attractiveness and the Accumulation of Social and Human
Capital in Adolescence and Young Adulthood: Assets and Distraction” (it’s a mouthful), found that
more attractive students, both male and female, excelled more in college than average or belowaverage looking students. The study claims that the correlation lies in the fact that more attractive
students had more friends, support, confidence, and connections, which led to them going further in
college and after. Though we probably didn’t need a 9,000 person study to tell us that confidence and
good looks can get you far in life, it’s good to have that confirmed for us, isn’t it?
Watches soon to be banned in exams
Don’t be surprised if you’re forced to hand over your wristwatch the next time y ou walk into an exam
room. The Artevelde College in Ghent, Belgium, has banned students from wearing watches during
tests. The growing number of smart watches on the market has made it easier and easier to cheat
with a watch, so it looks like they’re going to be the first in a long line of universities looking to ban
the timekeepers. Looks like your wristwatch is about to be on every professors watch list.
