I received a ticket for consumption by minor when I was 20. I am 23 now and have to go to court to fix it. I realize I should have taken care of it then, but I was stupid. So now I need to take care of it and the court states that I have to appear before a judge because sometimes they make you go to classes. Anyways, is there anything that I can do to maybe avoid classes or not have to pay the big fine.

The statute of limitations only applies from the time the offense is committed until you are charged. If you already got a ticket, it would not apply.
Now you probably have a warrant. There is no statute of limitations for a warrant, it will remain until it is satisfied.

Statutes of Limitations limit the time the government has to BEGIN a case. Once you were charged, the SoL became irrelavant.

Yes, there is. It ended when you were charged.
