Fingerprints are unique to everyone, a similar claim can be made about learning styles, however there are some differences. Learning styles, unlike fingerprints, can be the same between two people and according to Fleming and Mills (1992), are generally classified under four types: visual, aural, read/write, and kinesthetic, known as VARK. With these types, according to Fleming (2016), being used to define the most effective and efficient way for a person to learn, which could only be one of these types or multiple.

In order to make the best out of an environment while avoiding distractions and bad vibes a learner, myself included, should move oneself as far away from distractions as possible. One of the best ways to do this is to leave your room. For me this is difficult because all of my necessities are in my room: bed, computer, clothes and some snacks. This is the exact reason why your room or even your house is a bad environment to study and do work in. The ability to rest, eat and get comfy are distractions and will give you a reason to finish as fast as possible, whether it be studying or working in a rushed manner or even avoid studying or working in general. The vibe of your home or room will also serve to limit your abilities, every home is different and some can be destructive while some are constructive. With either of these home environments or any form in between it will still serve as a vibe to prevent a good workflow. In order to avoid this, both distractions and a bad vibe, a work environment like a library is perfect. Continuing on what Frank (2015) discusses in his video, people in a library are all there to do work, this encourages you to do work while the quiet and courteous environment will remove distractions from others. This allows for
