It's fairly well known that a lot of college students are "slackers." For some unknown and appalling reason, students choose to spend their money (or their parents money) on educational resources that they knowingly disregard in order to play games and grow moss. The student body of my university is no exception to the appearance of "slackers." In fact the very nature of the degrees offered tend to attract more than the usual population. Luckily most of the kids that have the slacker mentality decide that higher education wasn't the right choice and drop out. It's the ones that won't leave that bother me. They show up to class, maybe once or twice every month, and even then sleep in the corner. Their off and on presence forces the instructor to include them in group activities, where they pick up minuet amounts of credit for emailing the entire class at the last second and giving some BS story about never being given an assignment.

If you or someone you know is showing signs of "slacking," seek a deep canyon and jump.

Please.
