I had a midterm today, and it was terrifying. Not because of the test (nope, I had studied!), but because the professor came over and caught the girl next to me cheating. I know I am probably in the minority (the minority that most people see as smug and boring), but I have never cheated in school. Partly because I have a disproportionate fear of authority and partly because it just seems wrong.
I know there are always polls and studies and whatnot claiming that most university students cheat, but I was living in an idealistic little bubble thinking that Nipissing students wouldn't do that. I usually resent the professors pacing the room because I find it distracting, but now it seems necessary.
Please Nipissing, restore my faith in Ugg-wearing, text-messaging, gum-popping humanity: don't cheat.
For the record, I can be smug at times (you don't want to see me win Trivial Pursuit...) and boring at others (please not my blog, please not my blog), but I'm not trying to judge. At 25, I'm divorced with two kids. It's not like I have much of a soapbox to stand on. I just feel like you're selling yourself short if you take that path, and it could eventually catch up with you. Cue after-school-special music.
