We all have that one class that just seems too unbearable to go to.

Whether it’s an 8 a.m. or the professor sucks, we try to do everything we can to attend but sometimes it is just too hard. Here are some legit excuses you can tell yourself if you feel the need to skip THAT class.

1. You were up too late.

This one is a very legitimate excuse because college students are always up too late and therefore become very tired. It is an endless cycle. Give yourself a break and skip class.

2. Because it's Monday.

Mondays are terrible, and everyone knows it. You deserve this.

3. It’s too cold outside

If you live in the North, it gets extremely cold in the winter. Sometimes it's just too much to deal with in the morning and there are not enough layers you can bundle up in to make the trek to class worth your time.

4. Because it's Tuesday.

While not as bad as Monday, you're still days away from the weekend. Skipping a class will get you there that much quicker.

5. You have a really bad hangover.

Most college students have been in this position before. If you have a bad headache or feel like you’re going to throw up, there is no reason to go to class. You will not be paying attention anyway.

6. Because it's Wednesday.

Name a better way to celebrate Hump Day than skipping class. I'll wait.

7. You have to study for another class.

This is one of the most common excuses for skipping a class. Most of the time there is a huge exam you need to study for or stress has taken over your life. Take a break and miss one class if it means you can get ahead and control the stress level.

8. Because it's Thursday.

Thursdays in the college are arguably the most underrated day of the week. Live your best life.

9. You just don’t feel like it

In all honesty, sometimes you just have no motivation or willpower to go to class. Take the day off. Take time for yourself instead.

10. Because it's Friday.

Are you telling me the only thing standing in the way of the weekend is a class? Cut out the middle-man.

This semester I started my journey as a member of my University's Alumni Outreach Team.

Ten Truths Every Honors Student Knows

One of the main reasons I came to Salem State was I was offered a spot in the honors program. While it offered many benefits, scholarships and priority registration to name a few, what drew me in was the strong sense of community and close knit friendships many found. I am glad to say that that I did find these things, and so much more. I found a home made up of some of the most brilliant and most unique people I have ever met. Being in an honors program creates a college experience unlike any other and creates some universal truths that really only an honors student can fully understand.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?
