Treat study like a nine-to-five job.

Pomodoro technique is pretty good.

You can look at many different study techniques but at the end of the day, you need to WANT to study - nothing will change that. Have a look at where your life will go in 5 years time. If you don't like where it's heading then tough, that's what will happen if you don't change anything.

You were born with so many advantages to succeed - there are hundreds of million people in the world who would kill to be in the same position as you. Don't let it go to waste.

Time flies and you'll wonder where the years went. I always hear older guys who work dead end jobs say "my biggest regret is not working hard at school" - don't be that guy.

I'm in electrical engineering. Current semester I have a 6 course load. Two skills I need to succeed that you need as well.

Self discipline. This is really the only one you need. Friends want to drink? Can't. Girl invited you over? No. You get your shit done before doing anything. That's the only way to be competent.

Study habits. This one is obvious, but it's hard to get right. Have a few study spots so you can vary environment. Calc 3 and statics are somewhat dry, and heavy on numbers/analysis. The brain doesn't like to stare at it too long. Study for an hour, break for 15. Anything to get your mind away from numbers. But have the discipline to keep the break max 15, then get back into it.
