5 Things College Students Are MORE Than Willing To Do To Pass A Class

To pass, or not to pass: that is the question.

5 Things College Students Are MORE Than Willing To Do To Pass A Class
Emily Johnson

We've all had that one class that seemed literally impossible to pass. ...And if you haven't had one yet, believe me, it's coming.

This makes us college students desperate... What lengths are we willing to go to just to pass a class?

1. Sacrifice Our Souls

It's the end of the semester and you have a D in Biology. Dr. Mackowitz isn't budging and you've heard rumors that he revels in failing his students. The thing is, you really need to pass this class. You've tried hard all semester and you just need a C. You desperately start conjuring up plans to pass and you come to a sudden realization. You have a soul, right? And there are plenty of songs, books, and horror films about souls, demons, and college students. Maybe if you make a deal with a demon where they can take possession of your body only on Tuesdays, they'll help you pass?

2. Beg For Extra Credit

In most situations, you will never see a college-aged person beg for anything... except maybe extra cash from their parents. Aside from that, it's a rare sight to behold outside of a college campus. Here on campus, however, sheer desperation robs young adults of any shred of dignity they may hold. Your professor becomes some powerful noble while you're a pitiful peasant who couldn't pay your taxes on time. Hopefully, by some ultimate power's grace, the noble takes pity on you and grants you the extra credit you so sorely need.

3. Go To Church

It's been years since you last went and you claim you've been meaning to get back there and just haven't had the time. You've exhausted all your other options and have heard some pretty great things about higher powers. You figure whoever's out there may just help your cause and give you an extra blessing or two. It's worth a shot.

4. Study

You claim to have been studying all semester -- and maybe you did -- but now you have to kick it into high-gear. Your grade has stubbornly sat right below a passing mark and you really need it to go up by a few points. You have your coffee in hand, tissues ready for the inevitable flow of tears to come, and your textbook. You didn't want it to come to this, but your student loan debt is too high for you to be failing classes.

5. Go To The Library

You've been hearing these really weird rumors lately about this place called "the library." You hadn't heard its name being whispered until the end of the semester and it's piqued your curiosity. Supposedly, it's quiet and filled to the brim with books on almost every topic imaginable. Surely you can cope with your separation anxiety and seclude yourself in such a place for a few hours. After all, you need to pass this class and you're running out of options here.

Us college students are a desperate bunch when it comes down to crunch time. In the spirit of finals, may we all pass our classes, amen.

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
