Cutting Classes in College

It is common for students to cut classes in college. Students in college love skipping classes more than junior high students. Some students think that they are mature enough to do whatever they want. Teachers’ talk is annoying. Skipping classes and having their own way is much cooler. They think they can take responsibilities for themselves. I think there are three main reasons for this phenomenon.

First, students usually think classes are boring. They are not willing to spend time on things they are not interested in. They may think the content of the textbook is not useful in the future. They may think they go to college just for a diploma. They go to classes just for passing tests. They would rather play computer games, video games, or anything they are interested in than coming to classes.

Second, peer pressure is another factor that causes this phenomenon. I think peers can affect a college student a lot. Youngsters love to do things with their friends. If my friends do not go to school, I would not go to school either. I think peers are an important factor that makes students cut classes in college.

The primary cause of cutting classes is plain laziness. Students often stay up late and thus skip classes for oversleeping. The bad weather like heavy rain is also an excuse for their absence. It is too cold to go to school, especially the school like Chinese Culture University that is situated high in the mountain. Many CCU students convince themselves to skip classes with this excuse. The fact is laziness is the real reason that makes them skip classes. On the other hand, lots of hard-working students still go to college in heavy rain as usual. Even though there are traffic jams, they can get up early, beat the traffic, and arrive at school on time.

Although cutting classes is common, students should do their duty as a college student. Students should have positive attitude to do everything. Even though they think classes are boring, they can skip classes together, they are lazy to go school, and they are old enough to do whatever they want, they should take responsibilities for themselves.
