The college is one of the most important education tools for students. Students must master various abilities in accordance with their fields during their study at the university. Students often face multiple tasks including both academics and non-academics, so students must be independent in solving their tasks. According to Purnama & Muis (2014), the main characteristic to learn in college is self-reliance. Students must prepare their mental, thoughts, and feelings to face difficulties and obstacles when completing a task (Purnama & Muis, 2014). The capacity of students' abilities to complete tasks is different. A student who has difficulty in balancing their abilities in completing the task usually will have delays and even fail in completing the task in accordance with a predetermined time limit. A student who has experience of it is someone who has procrastination (Sebastian, 2013)
