wtf, drop out. Get your partial refund while you still can!

If your parents pay for school... EVEN BETTER! Just don't tell them.

here is my stragety:

Wake up, drink coffee and eat bagel while watching Special EDD deliver the daily news to everyone. Feel dumb for watching EDD and then go to class to make up for it. Get back and play poker instead of doing homework to make up for the time lost going to class...that is a solid theory but it only works if you dont have homework or tests for the first 2 months ldo

Brag: In my first year at uni I barely went to class at all probably hit up 2 lectures a week. I only went to psych (because it was filled with smoking martins. Anyways by the end of first year I had passed 7/8 of my units from my 2 semesters and was pretty fkn stoked.

Beat: Come 2nd year and a ladsy summer holidays that involved beating the local cas for a living, partying and hittting the beach daily. I found it almost impossible to rise before the crack of noon, thus making it hard to attend any of my classes. Rather than worry about this and get my shhit together like a level headed individual, I chose to find more time to party, play cards, hit the beach, catch movies and play pool etc. When exam time rolled around I figured I'd just cram and nail some sweet results again. But as a result of having too many goodtimes and only attending uni to visit the tav or to attend a function I found myself drowning in work, and realised it wasn't possible for me to catch up on all my work and needing to get >70% in some of my exams just to pass the unit as a result of half-assed/missed/late assignments. I proceeded to pass 4/8 units for my 2nd year failing the same unit as I failed in 1st year in both 1st and 2nd semester of 2nd year (1st time 40% 2nd time 7% 3rd time 49%). As a result of my fantastic 2nd year I was kicked out of uni for a year and will be returning to my studies in 2008. In this year off I have been working, and still finding plenty of time for cards and other stuff. A couple of my mates are in similar positions and we are all looking forward to going back to uni and trying a new approach: attending.

TLDR:
-1st year didn't attend still killed it.
-2nd year went for repeat performance, no dice.
-3rd year yet to occur ETA 2008.
-go to uni, beats work

GO TO CLASS MAN DON'T JOIN ME ON THE BENCH.

Do as i say not as I do.

Or just cram harder than i did, and live the dream.

Why don't you go to your classes? Are they early classes, and you oversleep? Do you just not care enough to go? Do you lose track of time, and realize you missed half a class and say "[censored] it"?

the trick is to moderate your skipping so that you dont really fall behind.

example, i have a lecture this morning for a class which i skipped (obv im posting), but the tutorial for the class is in 2 hours which i will attend and probably catch up on what i missed in the lecture

I graduated from college a few years ago. Here was my attendance strategy broken down by years:

Year 1: 90-100%
Year 2: 60-70%
Year 3: 30-40%
Year 4: ~10%

I also filled up slightly less than one standard sized notebook with notes over all 4 years. Classes I could stand to go to (afternoon, good prof, convenient location), I would attend and listen. Classes I wouldn't attend for various reasons, I studied the online notes, other people notes, the book or whatever else the day or sometimes two days before a test. I didn't have an easy major either, full computer science degree w/ psych minor (well that part was easy).

This strategy only ended up biting me in the ass twice, I had to repeat two classes, mainly due to attendance issues (didn't fail either, but a D didn't count for credit because of my major). I came in with some credits from AP tests and other placement tests, so I still graduated in 4 yrs w/ a ~3.2gpa.

So my advice is this: Attend the classes you enjoy, learn and study the things that interest you and pursue other academic/learning things outside of class that interest you the most. Skate by in the classes you don't care about. Spend as much time as possible having fun w/ friends. If you need 5 years to graduate, it's no big thing.

Also if you're serious about getting a good job right out of school, get into internships asap and take classes which simulate real work environments (group projects, division of labor, etc).
