> DON'T draw any scan-worthy stuff on the back of paper with writing on it. Unless you plan on completely redoing the lineart on top of the original sketch, there's no way of getting rid of the backwards text that bleeds through.
> DON'T draw on the back of receipt paper. This is an extension of the above 'Don't' with the added issue of being small and difficult to store.

> DON'T stay up until 5:00AM if you have class at 8:00AM. It's no better than not sleeping at all; you are still going to feel like shit.
> DON'T be a dick. You've avoided doing that so far, but just remember. Don't. Be. A Dick.
