When doing homework, avoid doing them in your dorm. Try the local coffee shop or the library. The dorm is a last resort.

9. Procrastinating? Oh, boy.

It's going to happen at one point and you're going to regret it later. Starting an essay that's due at 11:59 the same day will cause more stress then having done it earlier. Try to avoid these.

10. Textbooks cost too much? Try renting.
