So, we have reached the middle of the second week of school. By Friday, students will no longer be allowed to add a new class. However, they are still free to drop any class up until the 24th of February. Bwog humbly presents a Back of the Envelope Calculation proving that you should instead drop any extraneous classes IMMEDIATELY.

Had you chosen to take one fewer class overall at the beginning of the semester, you would have saved:

• 2,025 minutes for 75 minute classes
• 4,860 minutes for 2 hour classes

After a total of two sessions for T/R classes and either 2 or 3 sessions for M/W classes you are now sitting on:

• 1,875 minutes for T/R 75 minute classes
• 1,800 minutes for M/W 75 minute classes
• 4,620 minutes for T/R 2 hour classes
• 4,500 minutes for M/W 2 hour classes

Now, Bwog asks you to consider what that time would be better spent doing. The answer is certainly not “doing work for other classes” or “trying new things” or “actual being a social human being.” The answer is Netflix. Without even counting the time saved by not having additional essays to write or exams to study for, how much progress could you make in your netflix queue by dropping, say, the Intro to Java course you took to appease a comp-sci friend or the comp lit class you decided to try to force yourself to read more?

TV Shows you could Complete (Bwog’s Recommendations)

• 73.5% of Gilmore Girls (2 hour class) or 29% of Gilmore Girls (75 minute class).
• 93% of Gossip Girl (2 hour class) or 37% of Gossip Girl (75 minute class).
• All of Scandal twice, once with wine and once without (2 hour class) or all of Scandal once (75 minute class).
• All of House of Cards twice, with enough time to account for third season starting mid-February (2 hour class) or all of House of Cards including the third season (75 minute class).
• 93% of Lost (2 hour class) or 37% of Lost (75 minute class).

Conclusions

• Drop at least one class, maybe two
• If you have to pick between Gossip Girl and Lost (the same time investment), pick Lost. The ending makes more sense.
• This calculation does not include lab classes, which are 5 HOUR WEEKLY COMMITMENTS and should be avoided at all costs.
