During the first week of classes, you’re inevitably going to get classes that have you snoring within the first 10 minutes or crazy professors that ramble on about their pets for over half the class. Sylly week’s the perfect time to test out classes and drop the ones that are destined to drop your GPA.

Maybe your professor droned on for an hour and almost put you to sleep. Maybe the kid you sat next to didn’t wear deodorant. Maybe you realized that engineering isn’t meant for you and you’re better off as a communications major.

Although you can ask upperclassmen for advice or use Rate My Professor, there’s truly no better way to avoid a class than seeing it plastered online to run in the opposite direction. If you dropped a class, for whatever reason, let us know below to help your fellow Penn Staters from making the same fatal mistake.
