Human Factors
I got a clearance to land Runway 31. After landing I tried to slow down [the] aircraft by [applying] full back pressure. And I got instruction from Tower 'turn B taxi via A to ramp.' I thought aircraft was fast so [I] applied brakes. Then [the] aircraft [skidded a] little bit. So I applied full brakes. Aircraft stopped but crashed [on a] taxiway edge light with right main tire. Tower asked me 'Did you hit something.' I told Tower 'I hit the taxiway edge light with tire' he asked me 'ok is there any damage on aircraft' then I said 'no damage on aircraft just edge light broken.' Tower said 'taxi via A to ramp.' So I taxied to ramp.
C152 student pilot reported loss of control after landing due to excessive braking resulting in a runway excursion and hitting a taxiway light.
