Let’s be honest, y’all, we have all used some type of excuse to get out of going to class. Whether it is absolutely believable to get us out of our super-early before-10 a.m.’s or just plain and silly to get us out of our draining after-12 p.m.’s. Here is a full ranking of excuses we’ve all used to miss class:
1. “I’m Sick”
Everyone knows they’ve finessed “I’m sick” before. With this being the more “safe option,” it is usually believable yet understandable.
2. The infamous “Family Emergency”
One used by teachers, learned by students. Come on, at some point in our college life, we have all used the excuse, “I had a family emergency.” This always wins because teachers, in their daily lives, have family emergencies as well, and they get it.
3. Campus Event or “Meeting”Â
You know, this is good too, but now you’re getting looked at sideways. Yes, these obligations are important, but at the same time, you know when you have class, so it’s just like—did you really have to do something else on campus, or was that something else?
4. The “Self Care Day”
We firmly believe self-care days are needed and necessary; however, we know at the same time this excuse is severely overused by literally all of us! This excuse tends to be used more in the middle toward the end of the semester because we begin to lose our actual motivation sometimes to go to class.
5. Last But Not Least “My Alarm Didn’t Go Off”
Come on, guys, please… This is by far the most ridiculous and overly used excuse by all. We cannot blame our alarm not going off as the reason we missed class. Saying this to your professor is by far the most epic fail, and we have to do better, y’all!
Conclusion
Y’all… life happens! However, please make sure you stay consistent with going to your classes because it will come back to you. At some point, you’re going to have to stop the excuses and go to class. I know it’s hard, but you have to push through. YOU GOT THIS!
