7. Didn't get into the habit of skipping class. It's addicting.

Ok I'm not a complete goody goody, I definitely skipped a class or two a semester. And no, not because I was sick. Sometimes maybe you don't feel you need to go (if the prof. is just posting all the slides online and reading off of them), sometimes you just don't want to go. Whatever the reason, you decide to play hooky every once and a while because attendance generally isn't taken.
Bad idea. I even knew this was a bad idea when I was doing it (hence the twinge of guilt I felt each time I skipped). Here's why: it's not only a waste of money (college isn't cheap), but it's also an addicting habit. Once you start, it's hard to stop, and there's a slippery slope between not being a tight ass and being a complete idiot. Not to mention the fact that you may miss out on important information that's only given to those that attend class.
Just go. You don't want to get into the nasty habit of skipping whenever you want because there comes a time when that's just not going to fly. There's something to be said for having a regular schedule and sticking to it because when you grow up, that 9-5 is not easily ditched.
I agree with your thesis here. Sometimes I would go to class even when I planned to spend the entire period in the back working on something else -- just in case there were any particularly important announcements made. (Having said that, I still missed the final exam due to some missed communication).
ReplyDeleteI did however, make a point of not going to class on Fridays during summer session. I was a bit of a cocky jerk about it.
Haha well at least you admitted it! Summer classes on a Friday are rough though.
