Question

I missed my ENGLISH MIDTERM today which was worth 20%........................so im gonna try and ask my prof for a rewrite but im gonna need a DAMN GOOD excuse....
the real reason i missed it was because i OVERSLEPT =(

Answer 1

It's best not to lie.
Despite what you may believe, professors are real people and they are not that far away from your position in life.
I would say contact your professor right away and tell him/her what really happened. Apologize and ask very deferentially if there is any way you can make up the midterm.
The professor might say yes or no.
Then, you'll have learned an important lesson and hopefully the same thing won't happen again.

Answer 2

ok. the first thing you need in order to lie really well is an excuse that is both believable AND has no witnesses.

for example, you cant say you got stuck in traffic or into an accident because, duh, the news would have said something.

the second thing id look into is my relationship with my professor. does he like you?? are you two on good terms with eachother?? if so, you probably could just tell the truth. say you were real tired and couldnt help but sleep a little later than necessary. this also ties back into the whole fool proof excuse thing- make sure you stay HUMBLE but not whiny while you tell him why you missed midterms. come up with an excuse that can be accepted but not traced. id opt for the whole "i stayed up studying for other tests" thing.

the third and most crucial part of lying is the DELIVERY!
BE NICE! remember, you can get more with honey than with vinegar. also, you have to BELIEVE in what you're saying. pound your excuse into a solid story, one in which you have worked out all the details. make sure you can answer any questions thrown out at you AND that you keep details simple enough to remember.

i hope this helps!

Next time be intolerant of promise breakers. Remember ACTIONS speak louder then words. Relationships are about investment. If someone isn't investing in you, they're not into you. Make sure you meet someone with goals, ambitions, and money. Maybe it sounds shallow but losers are usually the users. Obviously you can't let this drag you down. So before you enter a relationship know what you're getting into by knowing the person. Know that they are into you and already invested in you as much as you invested in them. TAKE IT SLOW! Don't focus on relationships but friendships so it could lead into something more. Trust is something that is built between people. If you find that special someone then you should already know. As for the guy you're still talking to, I would cut off all contact. He's bad news and has already abused your emotions. Surround yourself with winners because that is the best way to attract a winner. This could be a very important step for you because the likelihood to find another guy that just leads you on is only high if you still make the same mistakes. If you go for change, then your chances are lower. EDIT: I know you feel bad and are questioning yourself. If you really feel in a hole, that is something you need you need to focus on. No guy or girl can heal your wound. Only you can. You have to complete yourself and take care of yourself in any way you can. I would join clubs, volunteer and go get a manicure or something. Find any beauty and ambition that you can reach before finding someone. Having this wound open will only drag you down. Don't be afraid to reject anybody when you are only trying to find yourself. Nobody is more important then you. NOBODY!!! Remember once you are healed, you have to look for someone who is caring, doesn't break promises, and IN college. A guy who is successful will only look for a girl who is equally successful.

Answer 4

If you are close to home - you can always say that your mom/brother/sister had an accident and you had to take them to the emergency room
Problem with this one is that he may want to see proof

If you have a friend that is a girl and is willing to help you can say that your girl friend came over as you were going out the door and told you that she was pregnant and was on her way to have an abortion and you had to talk her out of going& that you wouldn't be a good Christian/Catholic whatever if you let her get an abortion - he may ask for the girls name etc - so be prepared

Answer 5

Tell the truth weather or not u get a rewrite, u've to learn from ur mistakes

Answer 6

I don't think it's good to lie, but in this case....dead grandma. I say, you have to save your grade.
