    1. “bottled water quality” (in quotation marks) health teeth.

      I didn't know that if you add quotations marks around a certain word you can have more sites that are more connected to what you are researching about and give you more of what you for sure want instead of random stuff that might not relate. I will definitely be using this strategy next time.

      This has been a major problem for a while now and I feel like people are just realizing how bad things are getting with all the plastic in the ocean.

      I think that it might seem irrelevant right now because most people are just wanting to enjoy life and do stuff they can't do one they get marry.

    2. Young Americans do marry later than their parents did—on average about five years later

      I think that this might be happening because of the story that the parents have told. Some parents might say that they got marry because they had to because a baby was on that way, others may say that they regret getting marry at a young age. The young people have now seen what could happen and don't want to regret getting marry and that why they get marry later in life. And the time they have the use it to do things they always wanted to do.

    1. Some say the twentysomething years are an extended adolescence while others call them an emerging adulthood.

      I like this because it's true some people when they are in the twenty's they like to just party and go out because that's the age where you can start buying alcohol. Then there's people that stay on track with their life and start achieving their goals.

    2. twenties don’t matter.

      I like this quote because for me I like to plan out my future and because of that I have the idea in my head of the exact thing I have to do to achieve the ideal future I have for me. but when something goes wrong I feel like my whole future is going down the drawn.

    1. Many beginning interviewers are inhibited by the fear that they are imposing on other people and have no right to invade their privacy.

      I agree with this sentence because that's how its for me. When I ask someone any question I feel like I'm asking too much sometimes. Other times I think that the question could be too personal and the person might not want to talk about it.

    1. we’ll say we really want to find someone who is ‘kind’ or ‘fun to be with’, ‘attractive’ or ‘up for adventure…’

      I agree with this because I think that everyone looks for someone like this. At first we try to find someone that is kind, sweet, fun, and care for you and most of the time its the first love that is like that. But then after the first love we learn what are other things that we want and we make a new like or add on to the list of what you want in a partner.

    2. we have a greater chance of avoiding errors in our dealings with others and in the formulation of our life choices.

      the meaning of this sentence for me is that the more you know about the things that you don't like or things that don't make you happy you are more likely to avoid it. Also that if you are given two choices and one is something you love and the other something you don't like then you have s better chance to choose the right choice.

    3. Self-knowledge is important for one central reason: because it offers us a route to greater happiness and fulfilment.

    3. We will begin to see the rich garden we have inside us and use that for writing.

      I like this sentence because it makes me reflect on all the good things that I have in life and the things that I have experience. It also makes me not see my life as boring because I think of all the good stuff that has happen to me .

    4. They take in experience, but they need the richness of sifting for a while through our consciousness and through our whole bodies.

      In order to be able to write about something new to us we need to have a lot of experience doing it. We would have to see what we like about it and the difference experiences we have everything so that we can get some good writing out of it.

    5. “Maybe away from Paris I could write about Paris as in Paris I could write about Michigan. I did not know it was too early for that because I did not know Paris well enough.

      For me this sentence is true, because when you're in a new place you can't think of anything to write about, but then you get motivation to write about a place where you have been already.
