Skipping class feels fun.

It feels rebellious, like you’re breaking some invisible rule.

For the first time in your life, no one is calling your parents or tracking you down if you miss a lecture. No hall passes. No attendance slips. No one watching over your shoulder.

That kind of freedom can give you a rush. You feel powerful, independent, untouchable.

It feels like everyone else is doing it, and they're doing just fine...right?!

Here's what I've learned as a Life Coach for College Girls: skipping class becomes addictive. One class turns into two. Two turns into a week. Before you know it, you’re behind, stressed out, and overwhelmed.

And if you’re the kind of person who freezes when things pile up, this is the worst habit you can fall into. Skipping class doesn’t just give you more time in the moment: it steals from your future self.

Because here’s what happens when you skip:

• You miss the small details professors give that never make it onto the slides (ahem, extra credit included).

• You lose the rhythm of the class, making it harder to keep up.

• You feel guilty and avoidant, which makes it even harder to go back. You literally get stuck in "freeze mode."

And suddenly, you’re underwater.

So here’s my simple advice: go to class.

👉 Go when you’re tired.
👉 Go when you’re hungover.
👉 Go when you’re stressed.

You don’t have to be your best self in class. You don’t even have to be fully awake.

Just show up.

Showing up keeps you on track, builds resilience, and makes everything easier in the long run.

Skipping class might feel thrilling in the moment, but success in college is about consistency. And consistency is built one class at a time.

Also, showing up for yourself is never a bad idea.

I believe in you, sweet girl.

You're stronger than you think you are, and I've always got your back.
