Skip Day

I love this line from Ferris Bueller's Day Off,

"Hey, Cameron. You realize if we played by the rules right now we'd be in gym?"

It's not the most memorable line, but it really takes me back. One of the best things about high school was skipping, don't you think? There was nothing like that thrill-sneaking away from school, finding a way to buy wine coolers (remember those?!), hanging out with friends, and then, going home and pretending like you didn't have a tan. I probably spent more time at the beach my senior year than in school. Who remembers those strange ways of calculating when an official senior skip day was to take place? What are some of the things you remember about skipping school? Were you ever caught?

What could you possibly be talking about?? None of us EVER skipped school. We just wouldn't do such a thing.

I never really skipped in high school (always afraid of getting in trouble) But when I think of Senior Skip Day, I think of the following:

TY Park
writing my own excuse note the next day (I was 18)

Mad Dog 20 20
Boones Farm
Mickies Wide Mouth Beers

The hangover the next day was sooooooooo not pretty
