As we move into finals territory some students are getting a little more...creative (desperate) with their excuses. These are the top ten excuses heard around campus this past week, gathered from some very generous anonymous sources. You decide which ones can't possibly be real and which might be just crazy enough to be true.
1. This thrill-seeker
"Sorry I'm late, I was walking along the subway tracks"
2. Someone had a little ALCcident
"I need an extension...my roommate spilled a bottle of wine on my laptop and I lost all of my work"
3. They could not have put in LESS effort if they tried
"I just, like, can't"
4. This student who tried to scoopity-boop his way out of the assignment
"I needed a few days to recover after I listened to Kanye's 'Lift Yourself'"
5. The hangover was T-painful
"I was gonna write your paper but ... T-Pain!!"
6. A Rose Hill exclusive
"One of the feral cats attacked me on my way to class and shredded my paper"
7. All's fair in love and homework
"I got sexiled and she locked my laptop in the room with them"
8. A totally valid excuse, not even sure why this one's in here
"It was my dog's birthday party"
9. Caffeine dependency
"I was actually early but the barista messed up my order like 3 times this morning, I swear"
10. A commute from hell
"There was a screaming child in my UberPool so I canceled it and had to order another one"
