May I suggest an 8th Habit: Blame or begrudge your instructor after receiving a failing -- or at least unexpectedly low -- grade. :)
So funny! Back in the day when I was a college student (okay, only about 8 months ago), I strongly dislike classmates having personal conversations while the professor is talking. Yeah, I did not study too well especially when I had so many classes to juggle and trying my best to do well in class. I did get only one F in a college course because I didn't keep up with the papers. I did keep up with the readings and class discussions. In some ways, I was glad to finally failed a college course. I tend to have a fear of failure. After I failed, I realized, it wasn't the end of the world. I kept going and actually graduated from college after six years on undergrad.
9. Study subjects that are of no interest to you, i.e. seagulls.
