I Know its stupid to ask this question but i feel what most of the College students miss is to use their skill to the optimum, So are the proffesionals interested in giving advice? Please share your views and guide us.

i personally believe that the best way for students to get their work done is to know a lot of people who are passionate about the same or similar things, it can help keep you somewhat thinking about the material. It also helps as your not thinking so much aboutfinishing your work so you can go out with friends because you already are with friends.
 
is there no more advice?
 
Study wise, don't try to go it on your own. Get a workgroup together :)
 
learn to get addicted to studying.
 
study at the library, it is a lot more conducive to it. just don't forget to bring food so you don't have to take breaks.

Here is a thread from last year about GPAs, where we got off into discussions about good study habits. See my post #23, and a very good post by kdinser at #36, among others.
