Many of you will most likely hate me for this, but since many of us are getting ready to crack the books, I figured I oughta repost this and end the argument once and for all.

Listening to music for relaxation is common among students to counter the effects of stress or anxiety while completing difficult academic tasks. Some studies supporting this technique have shown that background music promotes cognitive performance while other studies have shown that listening to music while engaged in complex cognitive tasks can  impair performance. This study focuses on the impact different genres of music, played at different volume levels, have on the cognitive abilities of college students completing academic tasks.

I'm a Christ-loving, horse-crazy girl who loves cowboying and wild adventures. I like simple, mind-blowing science (not physics...too much math) that proves the existence of our Creator and the amazing fact that while I am standing up, my blood does not all rush to my feet...Wow!! I like to write and I love to read. I love talking to people about horses (even though I usually learn more that anyone else in the room.) I like Charles Dickens and the I, Q series. Eric and Leslie Ludy's books are pretty cool too. My dream is to foster and adopt when I graduate, to train horses by day, and write by night, and and use all that to change the world. With God, everything is possible, right? :)
