What many very helpful textbooks label as "Study Skills," I prefer to call "Student Habits" because these are the techniques and strategies that you'll need if you are actually planning to be a college student- not just in name but in reality.  Simply put, they are the habits that characterize the life of a committed and successful college student. I hope you find this reading helpful whenever you read it, but especially as you encounter first-hand the joys and challenges of college.
