By request

So the fun has begun, hey?  Work, school, activities and only 24 hours in a day.  You asked for a little advice on how to get through it all without keeling over so here it is:

Coffee.

Naps.

Not in that order, naps definitely have priority.  When you can't take a nap, drink coffee.  Scope out a few places that aren't too far from where you need to be that can be used for a quick sleep.  Twenty minutes is awesome, thirty even better.  That's not enough time to really get homework done, but it can be the recharge your brain needs to get through the next appointment.

My favorite spots were the fourth floor of the library, the grass between the Art and Administration buildings (shade and a slight slope made for a comfortable impromptu bed), and the student lounge.  Hell, you live on campus so you could probably duck back to your room for a kip.

Study at night with friends, you'll keep each other awake and on task (as long as the Game Cube stays off.)

Avoid energy drinks because they suck.  You'll be feeling great and then it wears off and you crash.  Hard.  Same with cigarettes, only they make you smell, too.

When things really get rough, just remember that you'll have plenty of time to sleep when you're dead.
