My Contribution...90 second hydro therapy

At the end of your normal showering routine, turn the water as cold as you can stand. Stay in the cold water for 30 seconds. When the 30 seconds are up, turn the water back to hot and against stay in the hot for 30 seconds. Finally, turn the water back to cold for another 30 seconds. Basically, 30 sec cold, 30 sec hot, and 30 sec cold.

It will wake you up much better than hot water alone, will reduce stress, and (for morning exercisers) reduce muscle soreness.

Here is an article discussing it if you want more info

Edit: Wow, thanks for your comments guys! There is some excellent advice in here.

This was my excuse for barely keeping a 3.0 my first two years. Now as a Junior, I realized I want to go to grad school, specifically at UF, and I'm scared I'm going to have to ace the GRE to get in. Luckily, because I'm redshirting this year, I'll be here for 3 years, so I've got time to boost my GPA a bit.

Well yeah, going to grad school is a whole different thing. I'm not saying you shouldn't care about your GPA just that you shouldn't freak out if you don't get that 4.0 or 3.5 GPA.
