"it's better to be alone than to be in bad company." - unknown

In this case i do believe that being alone is a better decision than doing something that will make you look bad or that you will lose your pride of being a CTR person. By being alone you have the advantage of doing work for school and not being distracted. If one were to be in bad company you will lose a lot of precious time that can be used for something that can benefit you in life such as getting good grades in the classes you need it for. For instance you could be studying for a test that will benefit you a lot or be in bad company and most likely fail it and lose your chance for something that could have possibly changed your life.
