Studying online is convenient. You have access to resources all in one place, from the comfort of your own home. But how often do you think you study completely distraction free? You know what I’m talking about. You go online to check Facebook for 2 minutes, and 30 minutes later you’ve delved deep into a friend of a friend’s pics from 3 years ago.
