We’ve all been there, we’ve all done it. Skipping class is just a daily occurrence at any college. Professors don’t understand it and students half the time can’t explain it. But here are 20 reasons for college students to skip class:

1. When you’re watching a movie so you won’t be missing anything anyways.

2. When you feel like sleeping in.

3. When you feel like going out to breakfast.

4. When you get invited out to lunch.

5. Really for any reason involving food.

6. When you didn’t do the work that’s due for that class.

7. When a professor says attendance doesn’t affect your grade.

8. To go on a road trip with your friends.

9. To write a paper for another class.

10. When you wake up on a Wednesday morning with a hangover.

11. When you’ve missed three weeks in a row of your favorite show and you just really need to catch up.

12. When you’ve been more stressed than blessed recently.

13. When it’s the first nice day during the spring semester so you must darty.

14. To go to the mall.

15. To take a nap.

16. When you need to catch up on a month's worth of laundry.

17. When you only have one class for the day and it’d be a waste of clean clothes to get up and go.

18. When your friends are skipping too.

19. When you're mentally drained.

20. When you just don’t care anymore.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
