Got Compact Discs?

Millennium Music is offering some sweet deals for your used CDs. Give them your CDs and they will give you an iPod. It takes 35 to purchase an iPod Shuffle, and that puts the value of that CD at about $2. However, that is leagues better than $0 sitting in your closet.

Best Wakeup Tool

Hot shower! Have an 8am, 9am, or 10am class? Have trouble getting out of bed? It’s hard, it takes discipline, and it doesn’t pay off as well as you want it to, but it just has to be done. For waking up, try taking a hot shower — immediately. As soon as the alarm clock goes off (and if you’re not using an alarm clark, you’re either extremely lucky or repeatedly late)
Get out of bed, get your shower stuff, go.
If you do this every day for a couple weeks, you’ll have a habit made, and you won’t even think about what you are doing or why you are doing it. This is a great routine because it will keep you on time, give you extra time for whatever you need to get done, and make you feel uber refreshed first thing in the morning. Steamy!
