"I love to listen to music. But music with a lot of meaning (my favorite kind) is distracting when I am trying to study, since I really want to pay attention to the music if it's meaningful. However, I can't concentrate without music, so I put on Top 40 radio to play in the background of my studying since it's not very distracting."

"I learned the hard way to always check the credentials of the people who put information at a website. I want to see something about them that shows they are qualified to do so. There's great information all over the net, but there's some stuff that is flat-out wrong. If I can't tell who they are, I don't use their information. "
