A Towson University student skipped class yesterday in honor of Beyonce’s birthday.
Ja-Niece Best, who goes by twitter handle @michonjanieceIV, sent out a tweet with the image of an email she was sending to her professor attached reports the Baltimore Sun. In the email she cites Beyonce’s birthday as a holiday saying “out of respect, I will not be attending class today, the Lord’s Day.”
According to the Huffington Post and BuzzFeed, the email was supposed to be a joke but she accidently sent it. "I'm so embarrassed my professor probably thinks I'm ... crazy now!!!" she said according to the Sun.
After the tweet went out, Best was bombarded with many different reactions. One tweet read “That's crazy what kind of person would hold class on the Feast Day of Saint Beyonce,” while others seemed to wonder about Best’s grades. She was quick to retort though and posted an image of her straight A’s to her Twitter with the caption, “Don't worry about me. I'm sitting pretty with my straight A's. Meanwhile you don't know ‘their’ ‘there’ & ‘they're.’”
There’s no word on whether or not Best actually attended class or if the professor excused her absence.
