Here are the tips that we came up with in class two weeks ago. Hope you find them helpful!

• Establish a schedule for work and stick to it
• Get rid of distractions
• Get enough sleep – helps concentration
• Read on the train and between classes
• Baruch email on iphone/cell phone
• Communicate with professors!

These are songs that make me remember certain times and songs that I like. There’s a lot that’s left off, from high school in particular, but here’s what I came up with:

• Bruce Springsteen – “Thunder Road”
• The Wolfe Tones – “Streets of New York”
• Weezer – “Buddy Holly
• U2 – “Bloody Sunday”
• Ryan Adams – “To Be Young”
• Modest Mouse – “3^rd Planet”
• The Hold Steady – “Stuck Between Stations”
• Feist – “Feel it All”
