Great Regulars: Second, get the recommended seven

to eight hours of sleep a night, which means going to bed around 9:30 because, if you want to be cool like a poet, you'll be getting up at least three times to see if they've posted a new poem on VerseDaily.com. Don't play pool--at least don't be any good at it. Don't sin. Stay away from gin because a) the good stuff is expensive, and b) the cheap stuff goes right to your head and will likely result in a showing of that bad tattoo you got when you turned 18.
