The dumbest reasons students have skipped class

Yes, the sex was worth the absence

Everyone in college skips class at one point or another. Sometimes you’re just not feeling up to it, and sometimes you pass out and sleep through it.

We asked students the dumbest reasons why they have skipped a class.

Kayla, Junior

“I was having an awful day to begin with, and the girl that sat in front of me in class ALWAYS chewed her gum disgustingly. I decided to skip class because if I went, I would have just been annoyed the whole time.”

Chad, Senior

“The dumbest reason I ever skipped class was because I wanted to play a video game that had just come out. Looking back on it, that’s such a dumb reason to skip.”

Natalie, Junior

“Probably the dumbest is when I’m like two minutes late, so I’m like ‘oh I don’t want to be disruptive cause I care sooooo much about the class that I would never want to disrupt it,’ so I decide it’s better not to go.”

Orla, Senior

“One time I was on my way to class and dropped my phone on the sidewalk and the screen shattered into a million pieces, so I just said ‘fuck it’ and went home.”

Willy, Junior

“I skipped a night class once to go to a 3lau (pronounced Bl-ow) concert.”

Jordana, Junior

“I skipped class for morning sex once. I also skipped for afternoon sex… And once to get head. Totally worth it every time.”

Melanie, Junior

“My friend got broken up with, so I drove to her school and missed class.”

Bryson, Senior

“I was in a really intense online game of Rocket League, and I just needed to finish it, so I skipped class.”

Mike, Senior

“I got a random charlie horse and couldn’t get up, so I just stayed in bed instead of trying to get up and go to class.”

Melissa, Sophomore

“It’s so hard to get a washer and dryer that I didn’t go to class cause I saw one was open.”

Jillian, Senior

“I’ve skipped to watch Netflix, to eat, to go to the gym and to study (which is probably the dumbest).”

Caroline, Editor

“I skipped class to go to a petting zoo. Dumb but justified.”

Katie, Sophomore

“I said I was doing it to schedule my classes, but I was really doing it to stay in bed with a guy, who really didn’t want to stay in bed with me.”

Eric, Junior

“It was a night class freshman spring. I was really into this girl-  she didn’t have the class, but she wanted to skip so we could drink and hangout. Dumb freshman me said yes cause he was a horny fuck, and while we did get drunk she made me smoke cigarettes, and then left me on the top of her roof to go inside with her boyfriend.”

Matt, Senior

“We had a sub once for calc. I had him for a previous class and couldn’t stand him. As soon as he started talking I stood up and walked right out.”

It’s safe to say that we have all had a few peculiar reasons for skipping class, so always make sure you have a friend in your classes to get the notes off of for next time.
