10 STEPS To Pass A Class The most successful, though least preferred, Study. Pay attention and get involved in class. Who knows, maybe it’ll even be interesting. Worm the homework assignment off someone else in class. Do your own homework. Everyone else has to have someone to worm it off of. For those classes that you actually enjoy and would like to pass but just can’t get a handle on, get a tutor. Get to know your teachers real well. A little brown-nosing never hurts. For those English projects, make a date with everyone’s favorite guy, Mr. Cliff(notes). Find a friend who had the class the year be¬ fore and borrow their old papers. Let your money talk. Break into the school’s computer and access your file, then discreetly, and illegally, push a few buttons.

What To Do During A Boring Lecture 1. DOODLE- This is something we can all do. Even those of us with no artistic ability. All it takes is a pencil and paper (or a desk), your imagination takes it from there. 2. DAYDREAM- We all have somewhere we’d rather be than sitting in class. Just let your mind wander to those places ... those tropical places .. . with palm trees, an endless white beach stretch¬ ing out in front of you. The setting sun reflects off the waves as they crash upon the coral reef. You and your hand¬ some companion ... ahem . . . sorry. Well, you get the idea. 3. SLEEP- That hour of sleep you lost doing a paper for the class you’re now stuck in can be made up now. 4. WRITE A NOTE- That girl or boy who keeps complaining because you never write them back can now be satisfied. 5. HOMEWORK- It’s a great time to get some homework done from the class you’re in or an¬ other. Remember what your teachers always say, make the best use of your time. 6. COMTEMPLATE- Contem¬ plate those baffling questions of life such as: Which came first-the chicken or the egg? Where is Jimmy Hoffa? Is there intelligent life else¬ where in the universe? Or let your mind be blown away by considering that you are just a spect of dust on the earth, the earth is just a spec of dust in the universe, and the universe is just a spec of dust in the vast area we call space. 7. IF ALL ELSE FAILS-If all else fails, you could pay attention. There are those days, once ev¬ ery few years, when your mind just doesn’t want to wan¬ der. Well, this condition isn’t fatal, it just means you’re run¬ ning the risk of learning some¬ thing. 7
