Uni Student Makes First Offline Appearance On Campus To Request An Extension

A chronically online young man has made his first offline appearance at Betoota University today to sullenly request an extension.

Blake Todd, an engineering student who has spent most of the university semester plugged into twitch streamers almost forgot that he was enrolled in a university course.

Nearly half way into the semester, having never been to the campus grounds Todd rightfully suspected that he was falling behind in some of his classes.

Speaking with the Advocate Todd revealed how he ended up in this position.

“I liked the sound of blended learning, some days on campus, some days from home. Turns out after completing the first couple of classes from home I didn’t really feel like going in at all.”

“Despite not having met a single person in my course, I’ve completed several group assignments, albeit I was probably the weakest link.”

Todd had more or less tuned out until he received an email about an overdue assignment that he had no idea about.

“Yeh not sure how that one got away from me but they said I had to come in and formally request an extension, it was pretty cool I got to meet the professor, he was actually pretty nice about the whole thing and his office was sick.”

After this experience, Todd has decided to make a concerted effort to attend face to face lectures.

“I think I’ll probably go to uni next week, the campus actually looked pretty nice and the people looked like they were enjoying the amenities that the bulk of your HECS goes towards.”

Todd has not been sighted on campus since his interaction with the professor.

More to come.
