InfographIc new year, new you?
from Travisty 7 (#72)

2017 has come to a close and it’s time to welcome in 2018 with open arms. Gone are those sorrowful days of crying into another example sheet, downing caffeine-infused beverages in the small hours of the morning in another desperate attempt to reach an essay conclusion, and apologising to our supervisors for yet another missed deadline.
Travisty is here to help you become that productive, efficient, and enthusiastic student that we all claimed to be in our interviews. Just follow these five simple steps to discover the productive New You. You’re welcome.

Buy some baggy and comfortable clothing (think twentieth-century granny/grandpa), with elasticated waistbands that allows for those Christmas excesses (see our fashion advice column for further inspiration). Not only will such attire be more oomfy to work in, but sheer embarssment will stop you leaving your room as often.
Background noise can be distracting. Music might help. A common misconception is that classical music is the best for helping students to focus. Travisty recommends genres such as hip hop and heavy metal. Metallica’s ‘Death Magnetic’ has been proven to accelerate vocabulary learning.
3. Food and drink
Eating healthy tasty food that you enjoy will boost productivity. Rather than suffer through spinach smoothies and celery pots, why not reward the productive New You, and save money at the same time, by taking advantage of the Sainsbury's deal on pringles and chocolate milk?
4. Sleep more (but still get up for 9 AMs)
Self explanatory: fewer nights out, less Netflix, quit rowing.
Stop wasting your time reading rubbish articles.
