Thanks to some research and graphic design from Student Scholarship Search we can talk about how much it really costs to hit snooze instead of attending that 8am class of yours.
Average in-state tuition at UNI is $7,426. The numbers they worked with are pretty close to ours. But now, what if we start skipping class..
The amount adds up!
What if you were using financial aid to pay tuition in the first place? Your cost for skipping the 26 classes would be $591.50; and you've got to pay all that back for time and knowledge you didn't even utilize!! How're you going to pay that debt back? 
Male grads earn an average of $21.68/hour while female grads earn an average of $18.80/hour. It's going to take +110 hours of work or 2.8 full paychecks for the fella's to pay their skipped classes (from a public institution) back. The ladies are going to have to work +127 hour or use a full 3.2 paychecks to pay off their skipped classes (also from a public institution). If those classes were from a private institution, you might as well double the numbers.
Just like drugs, are the long-term effects worth it? But why are we skipping class in the first place!?
