The big thing we are going to be worrying about in the future is the mass immigration from these areas of the world as more and more move to urbanized locations. India is once again in danger of facing greater poverty and starvation since the first "green" revolution wasn't as successful as it was in Mexico back in the 1950's. Achieving one of the Millennium Development Goals, the UN predicts that extreme poverty will be at an end by 2030. This should help these depressed areas of the world actually begin to come out of the poverty trap that they are entangled in, which should in turn increase stability throughout these regions. Hopefully by the time this happens the birth rates in these regions will be under control and more focus will have been put on infrastructure. I don't think that population expansion is going to cause massive global issues, maybe just in the countries that are out of control. The birth rate in the US is below 2 while its above 7 in Africa... we won't see many problems in our country, India along with sub Saharan Africa on the other hand will be in trouble.
The greatest form of birth control and population stability is prosperity. My biggest fear is the world governments getting together to come up with a controversial solution for the population. If you think I have a tinfoil cap on my head, look up Puerto Rican sterilization. And that was a more "human" program.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
