Sister picking on me in college

She spends most of the day in the library. I go to the library once or twice a week and spend 2-3 hours there. She says I’m not a real student just because my whole day is not spent in the library. I usually like to do my homework at home at night. Is that bad? Should students spend most of their time in the library?



I have trouble studying at the library; I study better when I’m at home where there’s actual silence. At the library, I’m subjected to the sounds of people coughing, sneezing, and whatnot. And since I have very sensitive hearing, I’m easily distracted by them. Even the sound of someone’s footsteps walking along the floors can make me lose focus, as well as people whispering or talking lowly to each other from a few distances away (the one time I studied there, I was able to hear an entire conversation between some students a couple of feet away even though they were speaking in hushed voices).
