Why are Study Skills Important?

A "ripple effect" happens when a pebble is dropped into the water. That one drop of the pebble creates ripples, which look like rings, which expands beyond where it touched the water.

Study skills have a ripple effect on your life. For example: If you want to run for President of an organization on campus, you most likely have to have exceptional organizational skills. This skill can be learned by acquiring solid study skills. A pebble only touches one small part of the pond, but its reach goes far beyond that. The ripple effect of that one pebble flows into other parts of your life as a student.

Do you want to have less stress and anxiety about your classes? Study skills can help with that. Every student can relate to stress, and these are feelings that are experienced at various times during a school year. Knowing how to study effectively and efficiently can ease some of those negative feelings.

Study skills can support you in a variety of ways. A couple of benefits of having the right study habits are the following: being more efficient with time, better grades, more free time, and progression towards graduation. Study habits can be tailored to each individual, and this individuality helps students build a toolbox of strategies that work specifically for them. A full toolbox allows the student to choose the strategy that fits each study session.

Quality time management and organizational skills facilitate the student's ability to get assignments completed and turned in on time. Tha lack of turned in assignments can be a hindrance to a student's success, and therefore, a key to one's victory in acclaiming graduation.

Graduation is the holy grail to every college student. A lack of quality study habits can inhibit from a student being able to walk across the stage. Having excellent studying habits is a pebble dropped into the pond. The ripple effect could be the opportunity for an internship, which could lead to a full-time position.

You are a collection of your daily habits. Why not create habits that make your day, week, and month better? Time management, organizational skills, and rock-solid study skills build exceptional daily habits. Change your habits. Change your academic success.
