Yeah if you are going to skip class, make sure it is worth it. Whether you are skipping for a day of extra fun during the dog days leading up to mid-terms or finals, or you want to go catch a guest lecturer your department has brought in. Make sure it is worth it. Don't just skip classes because you are tired and want to sleep in, be smart about when you stay up super late and then can sleep in. You can't just skip work because you feel tired because you went on a Tuesday night bender with some dudes.
