What’s an excuse but a certain special perspective?

One man’s excuse is another man’s explanation.

2. You’re too busy taking advantage of this unprecedented era of technological innovation.

3. Sometimes it’s best to disengage the mind completely from a certain topic so that the information can marinate a bit longer. Hey, it pays off in the end…usually.

4. Instead of doing the homework you compromise and watch a few relevant online documentaries which turn into a gauntlet of YouTube videos that leave you drooling into your palm half zombified.

5. You don’t actually need to do the homework because your brain is to intelligence what the knife is to peanut butter sandwiches.

6. You decide to go study with some friends and on the way home.

7. Wait, homework? Simply shrug your shoulders and act completely disheveled because you must have missed the memo!

8. Well, you tried to do the homework (for about 30 seconds) but then it became clear that you needed to ask a couple questions first, or perhaps a tutor.

9. An inexplicable EMP shook your neighborhood and you weren’t able to save your work without warning.

16. First your dog died in grandma’s hands. Then she died. What’s worse is it was only after burying fluffy that you realized he’d eaten your homework.

22. You had a nervous breakdown with three helpings of a panic attack with extra-crushing procrastination on the side.

23. In fact, studies have shown the many of the smartest people who have ever lived were procrastinators. Your not turning in homework on time is really just the inner creative genius expressing its unique sovereign identity.

24. To get a really thorough understanding of human handwriting from the western culture, aliens abducted your homework but promised to have it back to you in time so that it may be turned in tomorrow.

25. Someone called in sick and you really had no other choice but to work a double. Life is hard, what can ya do?

3 Tips for Employing Epic Excuses

Here are three tips you can use when it comes time to let the excuses fly. With these three things in mind you’ll be better prepared no matter what excuse you choose.

• Know Thyself: If you hope to get an extension or have the teacher give you a break you better be able to pull this off with a straight face. If you’re horrible at fibbing you need to practice your excuse in the mirror until you actually begin to believe it.
• Expect Unbelief: Walk into the experience expecting the professor to not believe a word you have to say. That’s humbling and humble is a good place to be in.
• Admit Defeat: Turn the excuse into an explanation by admitting defeat first. Yes, you messed up. It was your responsibility and you goofed. But, here’s why. See the difference between that and just straight out trying to lie?
