#6 Stay Current

Keep on top of current affairs, particularly media. Watch the news, read about pop-culture ups and downs, but most importantly, keep tabs on contemporary TV series. House, Lost, Mad Men, 30 Rock, The Office, Grey’s Anatomy. You need to know characters, producers, air times and how many times SNL has parodied each. Be sure to follow all the big ones (lest you miss anything important), but if you’re feeling unproductive try catching up on TV shows that used to be popular. What good is a liberal arts degree without context, right?
