the truth is i stopped going to class and i still graduated and became a doctor but it's not about that so this is a very weird topic and i might get some hate for this but just hear me out in grade school going to class was mandatory they took attendance if you didn't show up you were marked absent if you showed up late then you called tardy going to class actually mattered for your grade the teacher would record how many times you missed class and you could actually fail if you missed enough class you got detention so it was like there was an attendance police tracking your every move and you'd be put in jail if you didn't go to class right that's grade school now let's say you graduated and chose to go to college or university congrats because not everyone gets this opportunity in university going to class is no longer mandatory i know it's different in different schools and in different countries but just know that it's facts that in some universities attendance isn't mandatory so the teacher isn't keeping track of how many times you go to class in fact the teacher most likely doesn't even know your name but the thing is you still have a schedule i had biology on mondays wednesdays fridays i had genetics on tuesday thursdays whatever your major you still have a schedule and it is recommended that you still follow that schedule if you chose to skip class and go to disneyland on a monday morning then hey that's your choice but it would be your responsibility to get the notes and get the homework somehow maybe from your friends who still go to class you start to notice that going to class doesn't matter as much anymore and you even start to see some students brag that they don't ever go to class and still ace their exams obviously college is different from grade school in grade school they take responsibility for you and actually care that you go to class because poor attendance correlates with poor performance and they don't want their numbers to look bad but in college the responsibility shifts to you you chose to go to college you chose to take student loans or pay tuition or have your parents pay for you maybe you hate your major or maybe you hate the classes that you're taking maybe they don't interest you it doesn't matter you chose to go so it's up to you to figure it out and make something out of the opportunity you were given what's the worst that can happen maybe you don't graduate okay or you graduate with a useless degree and end up in a career that doesn't make you happy okay fine it's still just your problem hey y'all just wanted to sneak in and drag mike off his soapbox for a minute to tell you about the sponsor of today's video short form short form provides some of the best summaries of books out there i've been using short form to explore productivity and self-development books for example i've been really interested in learning about motivation and psychology so stumbling upon carol dweck's mindset in short form eventually led me to buy the actual book and make this banger video right up here it just goes to show that you can find valuable information even outside the classroom that inspires you and motivates you to dive deeper into different topics so the next NUMBER_TOKEN visitors that go to URL_TOKEN mike and maddie can get five days of unlimited access and a discounted annual subscription so head
