So, many of the people who post on this website either went to college or are going to college. What is the coolest thing you ever did at the expense of blowing off a class or maybe even work. Did you get caught? Did you end up paying the piper? Was it worth it?
Others are in high school, but I would never want to condone irresponsible behavior in minors.
Here's my story:
I saw the Beastie Boys (Check Your Head tour) the night before a huge stats test. Here's how the decision played out with me and my buddy:
Sitting in the library studying.
Buddy: We should go see the Beasties. They're playing at the Rave (a small, intimate venue in Milwaukee).
Me: We have a test tomorrow. I suppose we could go to the concert and come home and study afterwards.
Buddy: Yeah, we don't even have to drink.
Me: What the heck.
Later in the night
Buddy: Should we have a beer?
Me: Well, I suppose we could have one. But we should stop after that so we can study later.
Buddy: Yeah, we'll just have one or two.
Later in the night
Buddy: (through heavily slurred speech) That chick we just hit on? Her pimp just asked me if we wanted to enjoy her services.
Me: What? What are you talking about? She totally dug me!
Buddy: Dude, I think she's a h00ker.
Me: Crap. Well, that explains why she was so into me. Let's get a Captain and Coke.
Later in the night
Buddy: I'm wasted! (barely understandable to anyone who hadn't had 12 drinks)
Me: Me, too. Did we have something we were supposed to do tomorrow?
Buddy: Just that stupid stats test.
Me: Man, I'm drunk. I don't think I can study.
Buddy: Sc#w it! I we were destined to fail that class anyway!! Lets do a shot!
Next morning
Buddy: Ugh! Man, we have a test today. I think I'm still drunk.
Me: I know I'm still drunk. Did we study last night?
I got a B in the class...I don't recall my grade for that test, but the long-term consequences were not very severe. Besides, it was the Beasties and we were able to walk right up to the stage, back to the bar, and then right up to the stage again (many times). It was WELL worth it!
