FLUNK DAY!: How Not To Flunk Out

Everyday is FLUNK DAY. Or so I've been told.

Since arriving back from Spring Break, everyone’s been wondering when will that blessed day come with an email saying “NO CLASS”. A day when (almost) all your classes are cancelled. Okay, except the occasional night class or evening exam. Nevertheless, NO CLASS.

But what is Flunk Day? A day of debauchery and chaos, celebrating the start of warm weather, sunshine, and summertime? Maybe to some. But how can you use Flunk Day to save yourself from flunking out?

Many students choose not to participate in the Flunk Day activities and some activities are illegal to others, but whatever reason you choose not to participate in the traditional Flunk Day activities this year, there are countless other great things to do.

On a non-academic note:
  • If you plan to spend Flunk Day doing some less crazy activities, the Learning Commons also has a ton of great alternatives! Things that might be planned include:
    • Guided Painting, board games, puzzles and more! More details will be available on Flunk Day.
  • Get outside and enjoy nature! You can always spend your Flunk Day just enjoying the nice weather - alcohol-free if you choose or legally should - and maybe take a hike or sprawl out on the lawn and catch some zzz’s in the sunshine. Even if you don’t spend your Flunk Day working on academics, don’t let the day pass you by!
Whatever you do, have fun, stay safe, and don’t FLUNK out!
