College students go through many transitions throughout their college career. Stress, procrastination, dating, social life, etc. plays a huge role in students' lives. However, a big player is academics. Many students regularly attend their lectures; however, we all go through that feeling of not wanting to go to class. In college, that dread of going to class hits hard. Many college students don't go to class for a variety of reasons. Some think they don't need to, while others are too sick to go. However, despite how tempting it may seem to not go to class for one day, I highly recommend always trying to push yourself to go, no matter how long or boring class may be.
Going to college lectures should be a mandatory part of our lives. First of all, we pay a lot of money to enroll in and go to college, and by not going to class, we are, in a sense, putting that money to waste. Going to class also provides the student with information that they would have to learn by themselves outside of class had they not gone to lecture. There may also have been a pop quiz in lecture, and had you not gone, you would have missed those points. In general however, there are a variety of reasons why going to class is beneficial, and although students have a variety of reasons as to why they don't attend, going to class benefits the student greatly.
I will say so myself, I have skipped a fair amount of classes in my time spent at college. However, I am not like those students who go to the first class of the quarter/semester then never show up unless there are midterms or finals. I go to class on a regular basis. And, if I really don't want to go to class just because I am exhausted or class is really boring, I still push myself to go anyways. What motivates me to go to lecture is knowing that what professors are teaching me is valuable, that I am paying a lot of money for a college education, and that if I do not go to class, I will miss interesting, important information that I will therefore have to take time to learn on my own.
Although all college students will skip/miss class at least once in their college career, I believe that going to class is a winning situation for the student. Class is a way for the student to learn about what they are passionate about, and a way for the student to immerse themselves with other students in the same class as them. Class is a way to make friends as well as learn important material, and although skipping a class once in a while isn't going to be the end of the world, motivating yourself to attend class will result in you getting more out of your academic experience.
