I have terrible study habits. I always got away with it through high school because the subject matter was unbearably simplistic but now that I've gotten to college and my assignments aren't all stupid fill-in-the-blank shit I often find myself in the same conundrum. Granted, I still have two years to go and I'm not in any danger of not graduating on time, but just from the standpoint of having no idea what to do about tomorrow morning's exam, I completely relate.
I think it's a pretty wide-spread problem though, at least in the US. Most college students I know, at least the ones that are just at university to drink for four years and for the promise of "ONE MILLION DOLLARS MORE OVER A LIFETIME" (baloney), virtually never study, take a bunch of adderall the night before the exam, study all night without sleeping, then pull like a 65% on it come 7am. I might procrastinate, but I don't think I have it that bad.
On another note, that fine sounds like horseshit. I'm pretty sure most college students in the US take five, six years to graduate (mostly for the aforementioned reasons).
