8 GPA-Saving Signs You Should Most Definitely Drop A Class During Syllabus Week

PX Here

It's the beginning of Spring semester and most of us have already sat through plenty of painful classes.

You know what I'm talking about: your professor is rambling on and on about something you don't care about and you already know that it is going to be a long semester. While not all classes are going to be exciting, there are those that are just extremely dreadful.

Here's how you know that your best bet is to drop the class and move on with your life:

1. Your textbook costs $100 or more.

Sorry, but no college kid has an extra hundred to drop on a textbook for just ONE class.

2. Your professor specifically said you NEED the book.

Unless you LOVE reading, this is a definite RED FLAG.

3. You have a 20+ page reading assignment due next class

Who is teaching this class? The book or the professor?

4. You can’t even get through Day 1 without wanting to fall asleep.

The professor is a complete snoozefest…

5. Or your professor has already said some questionable things.

…Or a definite jerk.

6. “That girl” who made your last class MISERABLE is in this one too.

We all know “that girl”….. the one who asks 500 questions and turns a potentially short class into a drawn out long one.

7. Your friends have taken this professor already and said a good grade is impossible.

Drop this one IMMEDIATELY.

8. You’re just not feeling it.

Maybe next semester?

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
