  1. Time at the gym may sound grueling and unnecessary, but it will prove valuable in your turnstile-hopping ability during the morning and evening commute.

  2. Join as many clubs as possible- disprove the whole "there is no free lunch" thing.

  3. Go trick-or-treating this Halloween - Snickers really satisfies.

  4. Never, EVER, pay for porn! The internet has p l e n t y for free.

  5. Drink PBR (or Schlitz if it still exists) - Budweiser is for undergrads whose parents still pay their bills.

  6. Pick up a camera and destroy that New York City reputation of not harassing celebrities. Paparazzi make damn good money for a single snap!

  7. It's a jungle out there - stay in school as long as you can. Think: PhD. Doctor has such a nice ring to it, anyway.

  8. Sell coke not crack; the margins are better

  9. Cut classes - that scarce resource of time could be more wisely allocated towards lucrative endeavors (like number three above)

  10. Put your hand out! Who says panhandling is limited to college endowments?
