What are the life hacks that you wish you knew when you started university?

We all learn a lot of stuff about how to get by as a student during our (at least) 3-year programmes. So what life-hacks have you discovered? My best ones are finding Oxford Academic which has pretty much all the books in a virtual format for free so there is no need to spend any money on them and buying the 16-25 Railcard to save so much money on both tube and train!
