Interesting fact about yourself/experience: I have been to over 30 concerts! I also have a black cat named Noya!
What is your advise for success at FAU?: My advice is to find what works for you. Maybe it's studying in the library, or a coffee shop, or its listening to lectures while working out, even listening to the mario kart soundtrack while working. Just because it's not traditional study or life habits doesn't mean it's not effective!
