2. A Prudent Student! Get to class early, And it’ll pay.
You’ll sit up front
And be attentive each day.
Set two alarms!
Get some coffee, too!
Do what it takes
And you’ll make it through!

3. Boats of Notes! Write them, Type them, Sing them, too! Find the method
That works for you!
Write them once,
Or twice if you’re daring
And you’ll realize
Just how well you’re faring!

4. Sometimes it takes more than just one.
Study Buddy!
Sometimes it takes more than just one.
Study with a buddy,
And have lots of fun!
In groups,
Or just pairs,
Whatever you do,
Studying may be better,
If you do it in “twos”.

5. Seize Z’s Sleep is your friend. Remember that…
And you’ll see a happy end!
Movies are fun,
Clubbing, too
But you’ve got to do, what’s best for you!

6. Shy!? Why? Profs don’t bite, I promise this much.
So ask lots of questions,
About tests and quizzes and such.
The know so much,
And they will help,
So ask your profs,
Just give a yelp!

7. Hate to Wait Procrastinate? Never, you say! Seize that assignment
And do it today.
Movies and fun
Though important, too
Can wait it’s turn
Homework is #1 for you!

8. Clean Machine Bad thing, is mess, And so is the clutter,
When things are messy,
They put thoughts in a flutter!
So keep your space,
Nice and clean,
You’ll be surprised,
For studying will be keen!

9. Have Fun, Hon! Remember to take a study break! Studying is good,
But a weary mind it can make!
When energy falls,
Take a break right away,
Just get up and go!
Go out and play.

10. Good Luck! And now, my friend, You know all I can give,
You will reach a happy end,
If you live, live, live, live.
It’s all within reach,
Don’t ever doubt,
Just heed what I teach,
and “success” you will shout,
Now, on to success!
You know the way,
You know how to do it,
Go ahead, seize that A!
