I previously deleted my comment to prevent a thread hijack, but since this thread has already been blown-up....
This is the absolutely worst time to cut spending and raise taxes (whether your repub, dem, libertarian, socialist, etc.). Cutting spending and raising taxes is a tactic best left for trying to slow a rapidly expanding economy and curb inflation. Doing this while mired in recession/depression, stagnant growth, etc just exasperates the problem. The Great Depression was made into a greater depression from the same thing, why does history always seem to repeat itself?
We have Cons insisting on spending cuts, we have Libs insisting on tax increases, both are being done at the wrong time.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
