There's a new trend on social media that involves athletes and final exams

Kobe Bryant, Aaron Rodgers respond to latest social media trend

Who cares about getting an education when you can get a retweet?

It appears that many students can get out of taking final exams if a certain athletes respond to their request on Twitter for a retweet. 

And now this seems to be a trend on the social media tool.

Kobe Bryant actually came through for a student on Thursday.

Aaron Rodgers did the same on Friday.

A quick search of Twitter shows that Kobe and Rodgers are just two of many athletes who have been hit up with similar pleas.

Memo to teachers across the country: The real challenge would be to get a follow, not a retweet. A retweet seems like a fairly easy task to get out of final exams.
