Admittedly, I don't like rules either. No one likes to be told where to be and when. However, college is not all about the books. Employers aren t just looking for that person with the greatest amount of subject knowledge. They re looking for dependability, accountability and the ability to work within the confines of their environment.
Adaptability is essential.
It happens every semester around this time. Students finally stop and look around only to realize they haven t paid enough attention to their work and start looking for scapegoats. I paid for the class. If I want to show up, I will. Both of these scenarios involve the student blaming everyone but themselves for whatever hole they ve dug.
