  I know exactly what you're saying. I always save studying for the last part of my nightly routine because if you I study before I sleep, i find myself remembering the information better and doing considerably better on tests and quizzes. I feel if one studies every night before he or she goes to sleep, they'll find themselves doing better academically and research even proves this. Great post, good advice to our academic community....

  The Halo Effect is constantly occurring with the media and in everyday life. Just because a person has good looks does not mean they have other admirable qualities. I also believe that photoshop has had a negative effect on our youth and our own generation. Many feel the need to be perfect and have flawless skin and a perfect body when this is not attainable to even celebrities, they utilize what they have and what they have is photoshop and a crew of makeup artists. Our youth needs to be shown what true beauty is and how to feel comfortable...
