What's your secret to staying up late?
"Music. I just put headphones on or listen to the radio while I'm studying. I drink soda and stuff."	"The computer. I always get online, just browsing the Internet and going on MySpace.com."	"Sleeping in. I try to get my studying done during the day so I don't have to stay up too late."
What's in your CD player right now?
"I don't have a CD player right now. But I listen to hip-hop ... like the X-Ecutioners, Eminem, Jay-Z."	"Nelly. It's cool. I bought it on Tuesday, when it came out."	"I got the Roots, I got Norah Jones, I've got some old De La Soul ... some Johnny Cash, and I think that's it today."
What's the best movie you've seen this year?
"'Basic' -- it's an Army movie. It has a good plot to it, and it keeps you entertained until the end, where it pops out what's really going on. I have it on DVD."	"I haven't gone for a really long time. The last movie that I watched was 'Gothika.' It was really scary."	"'Fahrenheit 9/11.' It was a little over the top ... but there were some interesting facts."
