Helping A Peer Cheat By Sending Them Your Exam: Is The Friendship Worth It?

In many of your classes, it may be awkward meeting and talking to people at first. But after a while, you tend to make some kind of connection with someone and make a friend, which can be a good thing considering that you meet new people every day and aren't really going to see each other after the semester ends. So it's good to have someone for the semester is to talk and relate issues with. But with that, it's good to know the limits and not push the limits to help them get the things by cheating or breaking rules.

Every college student can always relate that having too much and losing track of what needs to be done. Sometimes it's just the simple fact that work tends to get too much for them. That's when many college students decide to ask a peer for the work. When it comes to situations like that, it's good to think about the pros and cons of doing that. On one end, it's good because then they'll owe you the favor. But on the other end, it's bad because you're trusting they'll do a good job in tweaking the work so you both won't get caught. Although you may think it's a helpful thing to send someone your work, IT'S NOT.

Especially when it's important stuff like take-home exams. Take home exams? Yes, some professors will bless their students with the opportunity to take their exams home and bring them back to the next class or so. But even with that, students still either forget to do it or wait till last minute. Which is why they decide to hit up other students to get the work. Honestly, it's not worth it because you'll be helping them because there's a high chance you'll get caught. This may seem like a silly thing, but it's actually more common then people think. Don't risk your own hard work and good grade because of someone else's mistake.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
