Your first day of class comes. The syllabus lists intro readings that you skim as the professor reads over the objectives of the course.
The conversation shifts into a discussion of the articles with everyone giving vast and thought-provoking takes on theories you begin to Google furiously.
In a lull in the conversation, you meet the professor's eyes accidentally and they assume you would like to make a comment.
 

 

Fake a lazy eye and look away

Make something up

Shift the conversation to something wildly off topic that you do understand

Admit you didn't read the articles

Rise from your seat, walk out the door, and don't stop walking until you're off campus
