5 Things College Students Are MORE Than Willing To Do To Pass A Class

To pass, or not to pass: that is the question.

5 Things College Students Are MORE Than Willing To Do To Pass A Class
Emily Johnson

We've all had that one class that seemed literally impossible to pass. ...And if you haven't had one yet, believe me, it's coming.

This makes us college students desperate... What lengths are we willing to go to just to pass a class?

1. Sacrifice Our Souls

It's the end of the semester and you have a D in Biology. Dr. Mackowitz isn't budging and you've heard rumors that he revels in failing his students. The thing is, you really need to pass this class. You've tried hard all semester and you just need a C. You desperately start conjuring up plans to pass and you come to a sudden realization. You have a soul, right? And there are plenty of songs, books, and horror films about souls, demons, and college students. Maybe if you make a deal with a demon where they can take possession of your body only on Tuesdays, they'll help you pass?

2. Beg For Extra Credit

In most situations, you will never see a college-aged person beg for anything... except maybe extra cash from their parents. Aside from that, it's a rare sight to behold outside of a college campus. Here on campus, however, sheer desperation robs young adults of any shred of dignity they may hold. Your professor becomes some powerful noble while you're a pitiful peasant who couldn't pay your taxes on time. Hopefully, by some ultimate power's grace, the noble takes pity on you and grants you the extra credit you so sorely need.

3. Go To Church

It's been years since you last went and you claim you've been meaning to get back there and just haven't had the time. You've exhausted all your other options and have heard some pretty great things about higher powers. You figure whoever's out there may just help your cause and give you an extra blessing or two. It's worth a shot.

4. Study

You claim to have been studying all semester -- and maybe you did -- but now you have to kick it into high-gear. Your grade has stubbornly sat right below a passing mark and you really need it to go up by a few points. You have your coffee in hand, tissues ready for the inevitable flow of tears to come, and your textbook. You didn't want it to come to this, but your student loan debt is too high for you to be failing classes.

5. Go To The Library

You've been hearing these really weird rumors lately about this place called "the library." You hadn't heard its name being whispered until the end of the semester and it's piqued your curiosity. Supposedly, it's quiet and filled to the brim with books on almost every topic imaginable. Surely you can cope with your separation anxiety and seclude yourself in such a place for a few hours. After all, you need to pass this class and you're running out of options here.

Us college students are a desperate bunch when it comes down to crunch time. In the spirit of finals, may we all pass our classes, amen.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
