The week off class, because of the evacuation due to Florence, has been labeled a "hurrication". But, was it really a vacation? Everyone loves a week off of class, but you will second-guess your love for it, after reading these five reasons.
1. The week of classes missed has to be made up on the weekendsÂ
Some students can barely make it to their classes during the week… now your Tuesday 9 AM will be meeting on a few Saturdays at 9 AM. That time missed has to be made up, which I understand, but we can all agree, we are not looking forward to those weekend classes.
2. You reached new levels of boredomÂ
An unexpected week at home can get really boring really quick. You had no plans to do something fun and found yourself sitting in bed watching Netflix most the week. After a day or two, you desperately want to be back at school (not so much for the actual school part, but you get my point).
3. None of your highschool friends were home & you missed your college friends
A week away from school means a week away from your best friends. What makes it even worse, none of your best friends from high school got a week off of classes too. So, as I said in point 2, you reached new levels of boredom by yourself.
4. Every classes syllabus got messed up
Having your exams rescheduled and essays postponed can be awesome until you come back to school and realize you have 3 exams, 2 essays, and tons of homework due within a week of being back.
5. The "hurrication" week was a waste of having no classes
A week off classes should be spent with a pina colada in your hand and your toes in the sand, not being bored at home. The fact Florence did not really hit Charleston is so bittersweet. Obviously, I love Charleston and am happy nothing happened; but, damn... there was no reason we had to leave Charleston for a whole week.
