I'm considering getting the Xperia x8... do you have any feedback on its hardware? Anything particularly good/bad about it?

Have you ever heard the phrase "garbage in garbage out"? You can't expect your brain to function at full capacity if you've been eating mostly junk food. Protein is great for providing energy for both the muscles and brain, but of course you want lots of fruits and vegetables and some carbs as well. I've found personally that consuming candy or other things high in sugar lead to myself behaving more impulsively, usually leading to blowing off schoolwork/procrastinating. I recommend that you experiment with slight tweaks in your diet and really pay attention to how your mind and body feel and function as a result.

"* Oftentimes I find that lectures are a really inefficient way to learn stuff. For example, in one class I can get through the slides of a 90-minute lecture in 45 minutes on my own, have more fun, and understand better. The key is actually getting myself to do this. Also, it's important to have a timer and glance at it frequently to make sure I'm keeping a 45-minute pace."

Couldn't agree with you more on this point. Over the course of this semester I've weaned myself down to only going to class on Wednesdays (today), mostly because thats when my labs are. Whenever I have a test I study a little each day for the week leading up, and I've generally been doing well. So now I spend about 6 hours a week in class, maybe 10 hours on homework, and then the rest of my time I'm working on personal programming projects or having a good time with friends! My grades will probably dip slightly this semester but I know that next semester I will have this system mastered, I will try to do the lectures the same day of the class, even if I don't attend.

As an avid Keystone Light drinker, I'm disappointed that you show it in a bottle! I have never seen Keystone Light in a bottle, only cans (and kegs).

Based on his email and checking out the site, I would guess it's this: http://www.styleowner.com

Thanks for posting this here! I just applied :)

Right now I'm working on a little something of my own, and if I can reach 500$ a month that will almost cover half of my college tuition :) (state school)

This definitely doesn't come as a surprise to me. As I've gotten older, I've grown more "in tune" with my body, and I feel fatigued when I'm lacking sleep. Back when I was a young teenager I felt the same every day, regardless of how much sleep I'd gotten. Now I always take my vitamins every morning, make sure to hit the right food groups -- otherwise I feel super crappy.

Amazing, I can imagine how effective this policy would be. For me I would definitely feel guilty taking a vacation day when I know I had important stuff to do, or I had been slacking. However, I can't speak for the sociopaths who work there.

I'm not really looking for a new technology or idea, more of a tried-and-true business model that fits well on a college campus/in a college town. My school has around 14,000 students and I'm sure there must be some service I can provide them that they would pay for, but I can't think of what exactly.
