Artie Schmitz's Guide To Studying In College

Artie Schmitz attended Harvard for a year before professors realized he wasn't enrolled in the school. Since then, he has transferred from one college to another. Currently, he is an eighth-year junior at Florida's renowned Dade County Community College. From there he writes to us, giving fuzzy, unsound advice on how to succeed in college if you absolutely don't want to succeed. So, here it goes:

1. The secret to taking good notes is taking them from someone who goes to class.
2. Cliff Notes do not give you the same experience of reading the book, which is why you should read Cliff Notes.
3. Cheaters never win, but if they copy from the right people they could tie with the best.
4. Just because they call them Work/Study Jobs, doesn't mean you have to do either one.
5. Never wait to the last minute to start a paper - get an extension.
6. If you're going to cram the night before the test, make sure you cram everything onto a piece of paper you can fit into your sleeve.
7. Never judge a book by its cover. Save your opinion until you read the back of the book.
8. In case you need an excuse for missing an important exam, explain that you didn't know about the, "Beer before liquor," rule.
9. On essay questions, write long and sloppy. Professors have many papers to grade, and tons of jibberish will always get a passing grade.
10. Don't be concerned about failing. The only people concerned about your GPA are employers.
