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.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
