To Skip Or Not To Skip

Why we all shouldn't skip class

1
To Skip Or Not To Skip
Westmorelandbrett

To go to class or not to go, that is the question.

Is it a better action to attend class

And face the professor's drabness or sass

Or to turn away the other cheek

For a relaxing bed that I seek


If I receive great sleep instead of class

I neglect not just my duties to the school

But also to knowledge that is an essential tool

So however tempting dreams may be

I should go to class to create a better me


However fate does exhaust me more

Of the choice on whether to attend

Or to venture off and spend

Money that isn't really in my account

Which will leave me with a vast negative amount


I say to hopefully think better of myself

Oh but we aren't doing anything today

I'm better off skipping and going my own way

To finish more homework

Before school drives me berserk


But what am I really trying to do

Attempting to get out of making a better life

Skipping now may cause later agony and strife

That I may not be able pull through

So what am I going to do


For now I will attend class

I will listen hard even when the teacher drones

Because I can learn past my groans

That knowledge is a blessing

For when a test comes I won't be the one stressing.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
