Okay, maybe this will sound cheesy and dumb, but when I was little, my mom never let us miss school unless we were deathly ill(well, not deathly, but more than a few sniffles) but my brother and I also knew that if my cousin's came to town, or we had a chance to go somewhere fun for the weekend, she would almost always let us skip a Friday for something fun. I kind of used that theory when I went to college. There were some days that I had the sniffles and would have loved to stay on my couch and watch Oprah, but I went to class. And then, when it was that beautiful fall day, and people were leaving town early to go hiking or camping, or even just to the park to play frisbee, I didn't feel to bad about not going because I had almost no skips. If I am going to skip something, I would rather it be for something fun than just not having the energy to get off the couch!(though by my senior year, MaggieAXiD had convinced me that the couch was a pretty good reason to skip!)
