I know one thing that's helped me is being able to work on my own time. I'm able to work when I feel I am the most awake or I feel I can focus better. I'm able to follow a schedule that works for me.
The first choice is correct
"Sea-scented beach" is an example of both alliteration and assonance due to the fact that, (alliteration) you have two repeating consonants "<em>s</em><em />ea-<em>s</em><em />cented..." and assonance because of the "ea" in sea, and the "ea" in beach make the same sound.
