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.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
