Students are sometimes smarter than the colleges they attend. For years, colleges have been teaching and preaching common sense rather than history or chemistry. Although I have to admit that in their semi-drunken state, students sometimes can lack common sense but for most part, we’re all intelligent adults receiving higher-education degrees.

Brevard Community College, however, is trying to tell its students otherwise. The small Florida junior college has been testing the idea of a four-day workweek and they say they might actually make the experimental schedule change permanent. Umm, duh? All college students avoid classes on Friday like the plague – it’s common knowledge. Although the other four days of the week usually end up looking like a suicide mission, you can enjoy the sweet bliss of a long, lazy weekend. 

BCC representatives are saying that the four-day workweek has cut down energy costs dramatically and has even allowed for the hiring of 10 new employees on campus. Most students are excited about the official change because they can save money on gas and save valuable time (and maybe even study on their spare time). 

When college students are stuck taking dreaded Friday classes, they rarely ever attend the Friday sessions and slack off as much as humanly possible. Hopefully colleges nationwide will soon get the hint and put Friday classes to end so we can fully enjoy Thirsty Thursdays without the worry of getting up early for a terribly monotonous class.
