- You can use simply one calendar for everything you do using Google Calendar, which can sync up to the calendar apps on all kinds of phones and also a multitude of desktop calendar programs. (My favorite is Rainlendar atm). That way, updating a calendar on one device affects all of the others. Perfect synchronization.
- Buying textbooks sucks, a lot. If you google search a book title followed by "pdf" or "epub", however, you may find that very book for free. (Your professor might react to this if you tell him/her, though.) If you can't find your book this way, there are all kinds of shopping sites online dedicated to selling copies of books for very cheap.
Try these out and see what you find. - I have another imgur album, bookmarked, containing a lot of really useful stuff. I cannot link it here because of some of its contents (stuff like 4chan screencaps, which contain a lot of helpful advice, but also a lot of, erm, "words"), but I can cherry-pick a lot of really good ones.
- And, if you're feeling extra manly, you should follow the Art of Manliness blog, which has all kinds of tips and advice for building your confidence, working out, and using your day to the fullest.
Here is a link to a guide for learning how to "do more than one stinking pull-up". (It actually has a
very easy-to-maintain routine. So, get lifting!)
