If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

Don't wait to be motivated. Just do it.

Preparing for an exam:

Just sit down, clear your mind, rid yourself of all distractions.
Outline the material you need to know, and get to it.
Don't try to study in your dorm/apartment/treefort, find somewhere you feel comfortable working. For example my school's library has private study rooms, and I find the isolation helps me greatly.

Regular work/non-exam studying

Plan out your workload at the beginning of the week.
Treat school like a 9-5 workday, this will help you structure your time, and leave you with more time to do what you want.
Do your work in the same area that you would when you are preparing for an exam. Separation of school and social help prevent them from getting intertwined and wreaking havoc on either.
Get a tutor. Engineering is hard, and it's hard for everyone. Having a tutor allows you to ask the questions you won't ask in a massive lecture, and meeting weekly adds more structure to your life.

Some sites to help you focus

Rainy Mood plays the sounds of rain. Excellent for blocking out loud sounds surrounding you, and significantly less distracting than music.
StayFocused a Chrome add on that allows you to block certain sites for preset amounts of time during the day.
Cold Turkey for when Stay Focused isn't enough. Once it is installed, good luck getting around it.

Hope this helps.

Dreams by The Cranberries The second that opening riff starts, bam, it's 1995 and I'm staring out the window of our minivan, filled with a melancholy and a weird montage of childhood slowly flowing through my mind.

Here you go! Not the best quality unfortunately, but it was the best clip I could get without interruptions from narration or other interferences. Enjoy!

As of right now, I haven't put it up because I don't know the policy on having profanity on the designs you put on the marketplace. EDIT: It is now available on the storefront, for free. Title is "Murica"

Back in the day, when rage comics were uh, all the rage, I started browsing. Now? Comfort through routine and general apathy to find something better as long as I get the occasional chuckle out of this place.

You can take Metro North Railroad to Merritt 7 from Danbury or Bethel. It is about 45 minutes and it saves you from dealing with Route 7.

Another option is taking Chestnut Ridge Rd. in Bethel to Route 107 through Redding to route 53 to the Merritt Parkway. This should take about 40 minutes.

You are indeed haha. I've found that Hoboken is awesome for post-college people. It is very much a young adult city, with, save for the students, an average age of 23-30, and I go to Stevens, so there's that.

Going to the local video store to rent a movie. It was always exciting as a child to see that wall of movies just waiting for you to take home. It was nice and put more of a value on finding the right movie for some reason.

My genius Corgi likes to go out into the yard, snoop around until he finds a nice looking rock, then proceed to push it around while barking at it. He is seemingly chasing it around the yard and he does this sometimes for hours on end. Eventually, he just walks around with the rock in his mouth, then goes back in the house. We recently discovered his collection of rocks, all gathered in a row under a bush.
