you could try out some classes at the local community college. I know that they tend to have working professionals teaching course, so if you're taking a class like drawing, or finance, where the teacher having professional make a difference, it's a safe bet. I am not sure about how the liberal arts topics fare though

I've started keeping a 32 oz water bottle next to me at my desk and that helps. I drink a lot of tea throughout the day, and having a huge bottle that I fill up in the morning helps me track my water intake.

I also use f.lux to change the color temperature of my screen.

This is the best resource I found that really explain what this whole electricity stuff is. I spent years at in engineering programs and none explain as well as it is by William.

Not that I know of, but I would be really cool. You thinking about building one?

I had one in college and it had some very college things on it (this was 7 years ago). It was a short term bucket list. Here's a short copy/paste: - Make a viral video (I integrated video) [note this would be on the beat of I just had sex by lonely island] - Learn about style and Fashion - Be able to do 100 sit ups - Be able to do 100 push ups - Be able to do 20 pull ups Visit Europe/Study Abroad [x] - Build ipod touch latin application - Learn Spanish - Become awesome at math - Become awesome at drawing

I only accomplished the Europe one.

Some of these I would still like to do, but I would definitely change the wording and use the SMART goal framework to attempt them. Some don't make sense anymore. I don't think an latin app really matters at this point, nor does a viral video. Looking at the list is a trip down memory lane.

What's your list like op?

In 2009, I had been depressed for 3 years after I arrived in the United States. I made no friends in that time, and I gained about 70 lbs. High school was rough, then the year before my senior year, I started lifting. I didn't do competition, but I started working out regularly to improve my physic. I can say that just being able to see daily progress and feel in control of something made a difference. I read some self help books, but lifting definitely gave me a boost in my esteem and made me feel that I could make changes in my life and that I wasn't powerless.

I'll echo the rest of the people's comment and say Python. It's reasonably easy to pick up, and is really versatile. I personally use it for some backend work, and it's a joy to use. One language that I am intrigued by is C# and dotnet. I live in the Midwest, and there are way more dotnet jobs than there are Python, which surprised me at first, but then I figured most of the shops here would have been on prem installations. The tooling from Microsoft has improved a lot in the past 3 year. I myself will be looking at C# just to see how it feels to use.
