I successfully uploaded my dataset into Jupyter Lab and created visualizations to explore my research question about social media and happiness. I used Seaborn to make a regression plot showing the relationship between daily screen time and happiness, separated by gender. The plot shows a clear negative trend—people who spend more time on social media tend to report lower happiness levels—and this pattern is consistent across genders.

After completing this project my recent success that I am proud of is
that I was able to create visualizations with the data and topic I
chose. This project has sparked the idea of how I could use this
for sport statistics like one of my peers did. A new skill I learned
doing this project was creating visualizations for the data I chose.

## Overarching Question
How does time spent on social media affect happiness?
### What central question are you interested in exploring? Why are you interested in exploring this question?
The central question I am interested in is I’m interested in this question because social media is a major part of daily life, especially for young people. Some say it helps them connect with others, while others say it makes them feel less satisfied or distracted. I’m curious about this topic because I use social media every day and often wonder if the amount of time I spend online affects how happy I feel. I want to explore whether people who spend more time on social media report lower levels of happiness.
