Is going on vacation or out of town a good excuse to miss a college class?

I much prefer to go on vacation after the semester ends. My friend says I should come down and see her. I will but I gotta find a good day to do it. At my job we have fall break but I still have my class to attend and I can’t miss my classes. Plus plan tickets cost so much. Plus I paid for my class.

Unless part of your grade is participation, it literally doesn't matter unless its a big day in class, like a quiz or test. Most professors post notes online, and even if they don't, it isn't hard to ask a classmate for pictures and notes. As long as youre willing to take on the responsibility of keeping up with your work despite being gone, you don't really need an 'excuse'.

@LaylaTheTallGirl But even in person classes usually post homework and stuff on Canvas or a site like it?

@LillyPad Yeah they do.

@LillyPad she’s making excuses to not go see her friend. She can take time off from her school to go see her friend. She has no excuses.

Excuses, excuses! Unless you have a test or quiz, go see your friend! You have a week off, get a plan ticket and go see her! Unless if it’s important, you have no excuse not to go? You don’t have mommy and daddy to depend on anymore since their dead. You’re a grown ass woman. Take a vacation! Go see your friend! Even for a weekend!

You are the only one who has the information to judge whether or not it is safe for you to miss class. And also the only person who knows what you can afford to spend! You posted the other day that your supervisor said they might break your contract.
