10 Commendable Reasons To Skip THAT Class, No Sweat
Wikipedia

Let's face it. College is hard. Managing your time is hard.

Getting enough food, water, and sleep is hard. Everything is just so much harder in college. Going to all of your classes is hard enough. But getting yourself motivated to go to that one class that just isn't doing it for you is impossible.

It is not good to skip every single class but here are some circumstances where skipping is just totally acceptable.

1. You haven't eaten yet today

Being healthy comes before anything and if you need food, go get yourself some good food.

2. You are tired and need to get some sleep

Again, being healthy always comes first. It's understandable you may need an extra hour or two.

3. You previewed the material already

When professors put the slides up online it really is a blessing. If you previewed the material and understand it well, you are all set.

4. You already did all of the homework

This goes along with previewing the material, if you already did the homework then you already understand. In some classes, you are able to do the homework so far in advance.

5. You need a mental break

College is an important time to cater to what you need and learn about yourself. If you are way too stressed and feel like you may explode, that class is not very important. Always make sure you are mentally okay even if it means taking a break once in a while.

6. You have a headache

If you have a headache you are probably not going to pay attention in class anyway. There is a good chance that it will make your headache worse.

7. Your friend in that class isn't going

If you have that one buddy in class who you always sit with and they say they aren't going. Chances are if you go you will just feel lonely the whole time.

8. You are already late

Honestly, if you are already running late you are going to be that awkward kid that walks in halfway through class. Do you really wanna do that to yourself?

9. The professor doesn't take attendance

They won't know if you are there or not so if you are not feeling it, there won't be repercussions.

10. You don't feel like going

The world will go on.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
