I was trying really hard to think of a study tip for you...
But really it all comes down to finding a way to read where you're comfortable and can retain a lot of information. Annotating seems like bullshit but if you really get into it I think it helps.
My other piece of advice is not to get drunk, and then try to study. This won't help at all.
Hahaha, well luckily for me, UIC is not a huge party school at all (I mean, look at the location!) so drinking will not be a problem.
And what I've been doing is just high-lighting main points and then taking notes. It seems to be working well, I just need to work out figuring out what's really a main point and what isn't.
Don't be afraid of the library. It helps more than you know. Try to find a no-talking section so you can batten down the hatches and get the work done.
Procrastination will kill you. If you have HW given to you on Tuesday, due Thursday, do it Tuesday after classes. It'll save you all sorts of stress.
Find your own personal best way to take notes, and utilize the shit out of it. You don't know how many times I tried to study freshman year, only to open up the notebook to a bunch of jargon that only makes sense when the professor is giving his lecture.
Other than that, don't smoke excess amounts of pot. Makes studying quite difficult.
basically, don't assume music helps you study (and especially read) if it actually doesn't that's all i've got,but it took me like a year to figure that out
