From Freshman to Senior year, we've all been there.

Whether you stayed up late the night before, woke up hungover, or just flat out don't want to go, everyone considers skipping an early morning class at least once in their college lives.

Here are the 7 phases college students go through before skipping morning classes.

1. When your alarm wakes you

Wow, I am exhausted….do I really have to go class today? I bet we aren’t even learning anything important.

2. Checking the syllabus

Hmm…we have a test on Friday…but the review isn’t until next class. I can afford to

skip, right?

3. Remembering the homework that's due

Sh*t! We have that assignment due in class today….hmm…maybe I can just send it to her in an email..

4. Wondering if you can fake being sick...

What if I just email her and say I’m not feeling well today? Then again, she might see me walking to my 3pm class…damn it.

5. Realizing how much time you've wasted already

Crap! It’s what time? I only have ten minutes to get ready for class if I decide to go…

6. But you forgot you already used 2 of your 3 allowed skips

Wait, I forgot I skipped class last Wednesday to study for my one midterm…and I last month because I was feeling lazy. I’ve only got one left. I should use it wisely…

7. Embracing your laziness and going back to sleep

Eh, I won’t need to skip class again, right? Might as well use the last of my skips now. This is the last time, I promise.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
