You are the envy of the entire lecture hall. Among hundreds of frantic faces bubbling silently with No. 2 pencil, you are the first to make a loud and disruptive rustling of paper as you flip to page 2 of the midterm exam. You breeze through it now, but a few hours ago you were practically shaking with fear. You had not been to class all semester.

You flipped through a phone book-sized chunk of your textbook, highlighting, making concept charts and doing the practice problems. You ignored Snapchat. You shunned text messages. You slipped emails, dodged phone calls and ducked under Canvas notifications for the next two days. It seems you snatched victory from the jaws of unpreparedness and laziness. Who needs lectures anyway?
