Vacation or no?
Hi, I'm currently a Freshman in college. My family is about to go on a trip overseas. They've traveled several times over the last couple of years, and I haven't been able to go, because of the annoying attendance policy at my former school district. I have 3 exams coming up, and one right after we would get back from the trip. I'd be missing 2 days, and mostly quizzes that count as grades. Is it worth it for me to go? Or wiser just to stick around, chill, study and catch up on some rest (my family aren't the quietest, I'm sleep deprived as I type)? Thanks!

Hey there so the thing is that family trips will always be there i understand you want to go on vacation with your family ive been here once or twice before. As you said that you have exams going on as well. I would suggest that you should chill and relax plus when you are done with your schooling you could take all the trips with your family as much as you like...AND GET SOME SLEEP SOMETIME

My thoughts on to go or not go would be to go if your grades in the classes where you would miss the quizzes is high enough to absorb the zero for these exams. If not follow the advice below.
Speak to the instructors for those classes where you would be missing the quizzes. They may feel that the overseas trip is not just a vacation but educational as well. Should they feel this way they may be willing to give you a make up exam or some type of extra credit assignment to make up for the missed quizzes.
After talking to the instructors decide to go or not to go. Bring the study material for the class that has the exam scheduled for when you return. Take an hour each morning to study. Have a room service breakfast while the rest of the family has breakfast in the dinning room or a near by cafe where you can meet them after your study hour.
Overall I think family time is very much apart of a well rounded education.
