I learned very early in my college days about the importance of studying and critical thinking, since the classes were much more difficult than high school. I firmly believe that forming great study habits and developing the skills for studying with others are crucial for success, especially in preparing for college. With that said, I think what one does outside of class cannot be overstated; exercising, volunteering, and engaging...
