Waking up to an email notification saying "cancelled class" is pretty much the same feeling as waking up to a direct deposit text. But, most of the time, that email never makes it or comes through after most commuters have already left. When you're a broke college student that lives 40 minutes away from campus and drives a car that is always on the verge of breaking down, the first thought that runs through your mind is the waste of gas and how there's no way you can afford to drive back home just to come back.

The worst feeling in the world is rushing to your 8 am class just to get there and sit in the room until everyone realizes the professor is definitely not coming. It is always a bittersweet moment. On one hand it is amazing to not have to be sitting through a class that early in the morning but also sucks to know that your next class is not until 12 and you cannot afford the wasted gas or the extra mileage.

When a class gets cancelled, your first reaction is always elation followed quickly by being overwhelmed by all of the extra time and trying to figure out what work you should get done and then getting overwhelmed by all the stuff you need to finish. If you're anything like me, you'll probably spend most of the time goofing off on your phone and the regretting not utilizing your time better by doing the paper you know you are going to put off until the very last minute possible.

Cancelled classes are one of those things that people love about college but it is only truly good if you live on campus and can just go back to your own room.
