Opinion: Back to last semester

When people are asked which age they they would do over if they had a chance to time travel, most people might choose their 20s, because they forgot how hard school was the first time around; they have “regrets” about not having more fun.

They also think that the twenties is your prime time, even though your joints start making noise and you have to catch your breath after a flight of stairs way before you make it to college.

If you ask the right type of people (like, people who read books), some may even say they would go back in time to a significant era, such as the Renaissance or something equally uninteresting.

They make the Renaissance sound cool and sophisticated in the history books, as if everyone was some sort of intellectual, but I’m sure it was something like five artists having petty fights and trying to one-up each other’s sculptures, while the rest of the townspeople looked on in boredom.

I think a wide consensus for the students in this vicinity would be that they time travel back to Nov. 7 when class registration opened and schedule all their classes for Mondays and Wednesdays.

The weather has made it so that students who have Monday and Wednesday classes missed about a month’s worth of classes with the amount of snow that Michigan has experienced lately.

Forget living in historic or futuristic times. If I were given a chance, three months backward it is.

It doesn’t matter if that day would end up being a catastrophe if you were taking more than three lengthy classes on the same day, but it’s not like people who have Monday and Wednesday classes ever have to experience that level of workload.
