Carla's belief that she has control over her life (internal locus of control) suggests that she is more likely to find ways to balance her time and meet her obligations. This internal sense of control helps individuals to feel capable of managing multiple responsibilities and making choices to prioritize their time effectively. This means that Carla is likely to find a solution that allows her to balance her academic and social lives without giving up either.
