I think its normal for college students to skip classes.

I swear, I've been in classes where there is less than 20 people in a normal day, but then the exam comes in and all 40+ students show up.

I've always been a procrastinator (ever since elementary school). :s But I did skipped one of my classes to study for my macroeconomics exam. ;___; It was so hard, more than half the class were still in the room in the "30 minutes before time's up" mark. Since the course has a slight curve, I barely made the C mark again.
The class I skipped was a general Microsoft Word/Excel/PowerPoint/Access class. The curve in that course is so ridiculous, its almost impossible to fail the class.

Obviously, this could go in the School Rant thread, but i felt like replying the post above. :s
