I fell off the skirt. Got tossed out of high school, several grades in grade school too. Then after four years in the Navy I got As in college (Good ‘ol GI Bill) for doing the same thing I did before, namely arguing with the teachers. (People who sat quietly and didn’t haggle over the materials got Cs.)Of course most of my grade and high school teachers would be doing hard time as serial child abusers today.
Taking classes to find what interests you is fine, but keep an eye on what’s required for a diploma. I took the classes I wanted, not the classes I needed, blew though time and money without a degree to show for it.
The Gen.Ed. courses usually count, at least through the two-year degree levels (Associate of Arts, etc.). Usually the four-year degrees have more focused requirements beyond that point, but a mix of Gen.Ed. and interest-sampling should work for at least the first few terms.
Beware of spell-check. “Here,” not “hear.”
“Skirting by”? Have always heard it as “skating by”?
Never skirted the edge of things? Hell, I skirted the minimum requirements to graduate HS.
I would’ve expected “skating” but “skirting” isn’t far-fetched.
I think it’s regional, if not generational in usage… but really though:
“I skated by…:
“I skirted around…”
A common tactic, and worth doing. Also is a great time to take interest classes as well.
Oh dear. Looks like Skylar is developing a girl-crush.
I don’t see it.
I think the blush is embarassment at her arriving in college with no plan. Notice it starts in the second panel.

Nobody taught me how to study in college. I just did what worked.
I always thought of skirting as just staying in bounds, and skating as effortless movement.
But I guess that’s just me.
‘Skirting’ definitely re: ‘the peripheral’…

Plus a lot of your interest courses will work to fill some of the non-specific requirements for a degree.
…did her hair color change?
How could we tell?
That’s amazingly good advice!
Especially coming from someone with her issues.
I also take AP am I cool like Astali now. ( I could never be as cool as her but maybe just a little more cool now)
…Fuck. Back to a whitehead again. -_-
