It can be flat-out impossible some days to find the motivation to go to class. You haven't had enough sleep, you just need a break, you're probably not going to learn anything important, you have other things to do, there's something much more exciting going on, the professor is bad, the professor won't notice, you won't miss anything -- and you just plain may not want to go. Even if all of these excuses are true, however, it's important to take a step back and gain some perspective about why going to class in college really does matter.
