Need a day off school?

I'm sure you've all had that experience in high school, you have a test, and you didn't study because you were grinding mge/ pugs last night, and like you can't end gaming on a winning streak, but you can't end on a loss, so you don't study. You look down at this chemistry test, and you have no idea what is on this page. At first you think that your chemistry teacher is retarded because first of all he spelled moles wrong, and second of all what does an animal have to do with chemistry. Needles to say you fucking bomb that shit so hard and you think, gee I needed to not go to school that day so I could study and do my test later. Well I have a almost guaranteed way to get out of school.

I swear to god I noticed this like 4 years ago. I noticed that if you need to get up early if you go to bed thinking "I need to get up at x time" and if you focus on it you will almost always get up at that time. I sort of thought that the same thing could be applied to feeling sick, as it's like another body function, I don't know where I got the idea from. Needless to say, if you focus on the fact that you are going to be sick tomorrow, and you imagine that your family gets the flu before going to bed, you will wake up being genuinely sick. This way, if you've tried faking sick previously and your parents thought you were lying you will actually be sick. Call me crazy, but it fucking works for me and has worked for some of my friends that have tried it. I swear to god it works. I don't know what it is, I've looked it up and it's like a nocebo effect type thing. Someone better versed in biology explain why this works please.

Don't believe me, try it, maybe it'll work for you.

weebasaurus_rexSomeone better versed in biology explain why this works please.

So basically this is a documented phenomenon dubbed "Nocebo" and the effects are typically more visible if the person has anxiety. Its mainly been documented in clinical tries where the clinical candidate was administered a placebo, yet their symptoms got worse. Here is an interesting read about it, though it is a scientific journal. Basically its a mind over matter concept. Since your brain is the one controlling everything, you kind of trick your brain into thinking its sick, which leads to cold like symptoms. Its the same mind over matter effect seen by depressed patients only getting worse w/o treatment, or how using smaller plates can help lose weight by making you eat less. Additionally, this specific "nocebo" you are talking about is much more likely to happen if you lead a more unhealthy lifestyle, e.g. poor diet, no exercise, or if you contacted a sick person recently which would help increase the spread of the virus.

Sorry this was long winded, I'm starting to realize my college aspirations are worthless and need to dump this unnecessary bio info somewhere.

u can improve on this by imagining the teacher/everyone else sick that way u get to skip school but ur also not sick (but don't tell anyone u did this though as it might be considered biological warfare!)

Only if you skip over a certain number of days. Which is why you plan your entire school calendar year ahead of time to maximize your time spent skipping and still also pass the class.

great idea except for the fact that most teachers don't care and treat it the same as an unexcused.
