What are some ways to save/earn money while in college?
I have a part-time job and I'm commuting from home to college (so that's helped a lot), but I'm still trying to save for additional costs and even the next year.

What are really good study habits for any subject?
I ask because I have terrible study habits (namely me cramming the night before and even then not really studying like I should). I'm trying to find habits that will help me when I get to classes in college.
