I skipped 112/162 classes one semester, so my opinion is a little slanted. I completely understand skipping classes, even when your scholarship relies on it. School feels like the biggest waste of time, and I NEED to graduate for my future. I can understand these guys having no motivation and being frustrated with school when their dream has nothing to do with finishing school. I can't hate on them, I used to post this kinda stuff all the time freshman year, though it was a little more clear.
I was the same way...
Actually might have been worse than the 112/162 stat.
My first semester junior year I took four 3-hour classes.
One class I did not attend a single time.
Not once.
Another class I attended 3 times, for 3 different exams. Unfortunately, the class had about 8 exams.
Another class I attended for the first three weeks and we were assigned a paper. I didn't want to write the paper, so I never went again.
Another class I went to all of the exams and probably 3 or 4 lectures. I had a good friend that was also in that class, which is why I went to it so often. Unfortunately, it was a class with homework and quizzes, which I never did.
I got a D in the class I went to all the exams. I got a W in the class I never attended (even though I never applied for withdrawal). I obviously failed the other two classes, which gave me a .33 GPA for the semester.
I followed it up with a 3.8 GPA in the spring semester of my junior year. I guess the light just finally turned on and I realized I needed to go to class if I wanted to get the college thing over with.
That said, there's no way I would have graduated in 4 years without all the CLEP and AP credits I came in with thanks to the slacking off I did for my first 2.5 years.
