If You Skip Class...

You should probably email your professor.

If You Skip Class...

As spring starts to roll around. The weather is getting nicer. The sun is shining almost every day, and it's starting to feel like summertime. The past week we hit 80 degrees outside, it's absolutely gorgeous.

More students myself included are tempted to skip class to spend time outside. Although it's not the best thing if it becomes a habit. But from time to time it is okay to take a break. Here's what to do if you skip class to spend some time outside.

1.) Email

Always try to email your professor to tell them you will not be there. Professors are more understanding when they know what's going on. Otherwise, they will just assume you are missing class. While yes you are still missing a class you are taking the correct steps to do so.

2.) Notes

Try to get the notes from class from a classmate. Also, check with your professor to see if there is anything that you need to make up. Do not allow your relaxing day to cause your stress later by not keeping up with the class. It's always a good idea to read over the powerpoint so next class time you will understand what's going on.

3. Enjoy Your Self

You took the day off to enjoy the weather. So make sure you actually get out there and take in the beautiful weather. Take a bike ride, go for a walk, relax in a hammock. Whatever you decide to do enjoy the day.

Note to Students:

Don't let your one day throw you off course. It's good to take some time off to ground yourself, but don't make it a habit. It's almost the end of the semester to finish out strong.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
