 Having good study skills will help me complete assignments and still have time for a
full social life, as well. Effective study skills will help me develop discipline to
effectively structure my day, since college is very different from high school.
Primarily, the focus will be on academic success, but these skills will also carry over
my life outside of class and transfer to my career and relationships, that way, study
skills will not only help me succeed academically, but they will also assist me outside
of class.

explain the things that happen to them (external locus).
