Go to the clinic, get a note. That way you wont infect your classmates.

Don't go to class and possibly get everyone sick unless you have some really important test or something. You could probably have a friend drop off any homework you have due. Then just email all the professors whose class you will be missing unless it is some big lecture (they are usually cool about it). After all this you should be good to hibernate and recover.

put on a huge sweatshirt and huge sweatpants, fill your nalgeine up with water, pound a few airbourne, sack up and go to class.  College is all about stories, so if you really want to make an impression, do it drunk.  if you stayed home every time you dont feel well, ur gonna miss a shit load of class.

i went to a college where attendance was mandatory, and if we missed a class we had to have a doctors note kind of thing, and i think while that policy is good for skippers, i found it ironic that people were being sent home from work if they were sick... all being said, if you don't have to go to class don't go because your body needs to rest, but if you need to be there, take some buckleys for the cough or stuffiness, and two advil for your fever. like every 4 hours. and cough in your sleeve and keep your germs at bay. or go cough on the teacher if your exam is next week ;)

Unless the class is extremely important, shoot your prof an email and just don't go. Don't they post the lecture notes online anyways to some website like Blackboard or ANGEL? Just spend a few days in bed and get better, rather than trekking out to class and possibly making it worse/getting everyone else sick.

Brent, go to your medical place at csu and tell them your throat is killer you have a dry cough and its keeping you up and your roommate too tell them tylenol hasnt done the trick and you need something stronger. they will then prescribe you codeine promethezene and youll get about 4 oz. pour up a duece save the rest for your actual throat problems but take that duece pour it into a styrofoam cup get a 20 oz sprite and a shitload of jollyranchers and make your self some purple drank sip it up lean it out and have a chill ass day listening to zro

A few of my teachers do this now. I think it's terrible. I find myself going to class like once every 2 weeks and just chilling out and watching the videos of lecture on my couch later. It works, because I've done well on the exams, but I just feel bad not actually going.

This.


When the bottle is practically empty, savor the remnants of syrup left by lacing your papers or blunts with it(takes a while to dry).

Don't be that guy that sits in the back of class all grimey style, coughing and leaking fluids and spreading your infection. Trust me, everyone hates that guy.

Just get a doctor's note, take it to your professor if you must, and use this as an opportunity to ask a cute girl you haven't had a reason to talk to before if she wouldn't mind lending notes to help you catch up.

Did you actually feel the need to make this thread? I mean com'mon dude, you're in college, I feel you should be mature enough to answer you're own question having been to class already and knowing how much the teacher covers in one period? My advice, call you're mommy.

and along with this

Get gummy bears and place them in a bowl
Soak them in everclear for 24 hours
let them dry out a bit
Pop them like candy while chilling in class, and get your lean on

Drink a cup of anti-freeze.  It will clear that fever up pronto!  It will also keep you from getting cold on the mountain.

Wait, you go to class?


But on the real, email your profs, go to class if you feel like you can.

my friend went and took a test when he was really sick because there were no exceptions. he sat in the front row with a garbage can and through up throughout the whole hour. do this and bring the curve way down by distracting your classmates

this.


i hated when there was that guy (or girl) just hacking their lungs or sneezing constantly (sneezing was the worst - fucking nasty sounding and shit) in class or studio. Just fucking don't go to class. In most classes, you'll be fine if you miss one or two. Just fire an email to the professor (or TA if it is one of those jumbo fucking classes), or hit em up when you get better.

Unless you are vomiting, drag yourself to class... It is the philosophy I live by. It has never failed me.
Anyways, I would rather be in class, than not.
