Good I suppose but it's really hard to focus and concentrate with two other siblings using their computers in the same room. Advice anyone?

yeah!!!
Graduation!
I should really appreciate Carson.
This thread really encouraged me to go for sub 30.
I am going to start to memorize full OLL in the next week.
My suggestions:
Do advanced F2l
don't use 100% of your fingers' speed in f2l. use 80% so that you can see the colors and look ahead better. (I got this from a post by chris hardwick)

Even though I'm graduating from here, I would still like to come here and answer any questions if anyone of you needs help. I think I won't be joining the Sub-20.

don't use 100% of your fingers' speed in f2l. use 80% so that you can see the colors and look ahead better. (I got this from a post by chris hardwick)

That is the best way to improve, i also did it like that and my times went sub 30 almost instantly, now i average 25

I greatly appreciate all of Chris's advice, including this, but I should point out that it doesn't work that way for everyone. When I use 80% of my speed in F2L, my solves are, well, 80% as fast as when I use 100% of my speed. (Actually, probably more like 90%.) My lookahead simply doesn't improve when I slow down. I don't know if that means my lookahead is really good or it's really bad (probably the latter), but either way, it just doesn't improve for me at all when I slow down.

For me, closing my eyes while solving each step (to train me not to watch the pieces while solving them) has really helped.
