An overwhelming sense of joy pervaded campus Wednesday as students relished in the news of the upcoming Saturday make-up classes. Students exclaimed how gracious they are for the make-up days and expressed relief they can put aside their excessive stress over the missed lectures. 
Tensions ran high earlier this month when snow blockaded students inside their homes, forcing campus to close, much to the disappointment of LSU pupils. Tears were shed — at least until they froze into tragic snowflakes. But after a few weeks of educational setbacks and emotional breakdowns, students showed dedication to catching up to their syllabi. 
Some even lamented that they had to beg their teachers to assign more homework and reading in order to catch up. 
Seniors especially have said they will most definitely be in attendance on the make-up Saturdays, ready to learn and participate.
Harold, a senior majoring in Flappy Bird physics, said, “Of course I’m going to my snow day make-ups, what else would I rather do on a Saturday morning?”
LSU administrators said they initially weren’t even going to bother rescheduling the snow days, but after hearing massive amounts of feedback from the LSU community begging for Saturday classes, he decided it was best to give the students what they wanted. 
The make-up days will not be held over Spring Break, much to the dismay of campus. Students said that they would’ve rather had the classes at that time so there would be a shorter break from school.
Quinton, a freshman majoring in experimental study habits, said, “I just hate when I have to be away from this school and my books for more than a few days at a time.” 
The student body agrees with you, Quinton.
Professors made a point to say they will most definitely stand behind the school on this decision. They assured students via emails that they shouldn’t worry; they will keep class attendance mandatory for Saturday, even throwing in a few clicker points and in-class assignments. 
After extensive reporting, I could only find one person who was upset about having make-up classes. 
Biology junior Sally said, “I studied the missed material during the snow day and I was shocked to find out the rest of the student body didn’t do the same. Professors should have continued on with their lectures and expected students to have covered the material on their own.” 
There have been rumors of uprisings and student strikes in the north because of their jealousy over our make up days. In places like Massachusetts and New York, where snow is common and plentiful, the students are angry that they don’t get to have Saturday make-up classes. 
Unfortunately, the world can be an unfair place, and the north should learn from the wonderful way LSU handled what could’ve been a snowpocalypse. 
Media outlets are reporting that riots broke out shortly after word spread across the nation about LSU’s make-up days. Apparently, students had relayed to their friends in other schools about their Saturday classes and all hell broke loose with flames of jealousy.
With such positive spirits circulating around this school, professors and administrators are looking forward to hurricane season so they can announce more Saturday classes and see the delighted gleam reappear in students’ eyes.
