Re:Is the first year of a degree a waste of time?

For me, it was my first time away from home, and I wasn't certain of my major. So it was useful as a self-discovery experience.
But my friend, who is going to school in his town is finding the first (and even the second) year pretty useless. And it was sad that his freshman English class consisted of determining correct comma placement. I hope it's just the school and not the dumbing down of education across the board. So scary.
Re:Exercise More to Hack Better

I notice ideas come to me more readily when exercising, especially on the beach. Sometimes I get such a flood of ideas I run faster to get home to write them down. If you can't get outside, juggling is a great indoor exercise, and it also helps with focus.
