Tips for Success
Here are my top tips as far as doing good goes.
1. Do your work. Seriously. I learned this the hard way.
2. Show up, be on time.
3. Eat and sleep. Too little of either means you can't focus, too much of either makes you
complacent.
4. Study. Even if you have fantastic memory retention you can't get an A without looking back once or twice.
5. Get help when you need it, not when the crisis is upon you.
6. Be responsible for your actions (especially partying). Exercise moderation.

All About Me
Hi, I'm Joshua Shimabukuro. My favorite bands are Boris, Destroyer, Lightspeed Champion, and Andrew Bird. I took Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll because I really enjoy rock and roll and listen to it rigorously and often. I have a deep apprecation for music, being a fledgling guitarist and drummer myself. I like to read and watch movies in my spare time. My favorite book is House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski and my favorite film is Lost in Translation. I like to write poetry and play music.
