My solid gems of advice are as follows:
4) never leave your campus ABD! Because you will probably stay ABD. Try to get a close to your defense and submission of your final product as possible. (when I left, I had a successful defense and was left with corrections to make).
5) create a positive, stress free place in your life. remove all negative people, thoughts, and habits
6) connect with a mentor in your department or somewhere on campus
7) get involved in extrcirrcular activities
8) get to know people at the Grad School, they will help you out in more ways than you could ever realize
9) always carry $5.00 in change for the copier. You never know where you will come across an article that relates to your research
10) don't gain weight. I gained 30 lbs. during my 4 years of grad school and I am struggling to lose it now.

Indeed, these are truly SOLID pearls of wisdom! Thanks so much. I'm in my first year and that #4 was something I really needed to read.
