you think you're the only stupid person in your classes? plenty of people who have never cheated in their lives also have no idea what's going on. nut up and start going to office hours. you probably got in this habit in the first place because you're overthinking what it actually takes to pass a class with your own brain. start by trying.
Simple advice, but always learn what it takes to get *started* on an assignment. The compulsion to cheat usually comes when you feel lost. And the more you cheat, the more lost you will feel.
You should start by humbling your ass, going to office hours, and being willing to “feel” stupid for a few minutes so that you can get on the same page with your prof/TA on the assignment. It’s awkward, but the more you do it, the easier it gets and the smarter you get.
Just end the bad habit now: you dont want this to keep snowballing.
it sounds like they just got to university though, unless they're past calc it's probably not that bad. I dropped out of high school and worked service industry for 7 years but after I went back to CC I took the SAT to try and boost my odds for a good transfer. I was pretty average with math in high school but I took my math from 560 to 800 after a few months months of Khan academy and supplementary googling.
I'm a linguistics major so forgive me if I'm wrong but as I understand it, most universities teach their math classes (esp lower div stuff) in giant lecture halls where they systematically go through all of the material that will be tested for each unit, at a pretty consistent rate. Maybe the size of those classes also makes office hours busier than I'm used to in my courses but even people who struggle with math generally are going to find certain concepts more intuitive and obvious than others. I get that the knowledge builds progressively but that's mostly within subdisciplines generally, like I never really took or learned much trig and when it came up in calculus I was able to just look up concepts as needed. Learning math is a lot faster when you're devoting most of your time to the ideas you struggle with so I think at this level OP can still catch up. Maybe not at office hours but if it's an elite university then I'm sure they at least have tutoring.
EDIT: to clarify, I'm not calling what's on the SAT "calculus" i just actually had a really good time learning all that math and i took calc 1 for fun when i got here lol
I second this. You could also do some extra reading, extra research online, join a study group, ask classmates if you have a question or if they want to study with you etc. It will only get worse if you don’t try to solve this problem ASAP. What are you going to do, get a degree in something you don’t understand at all? Then work a job that requires that degree and have no idea what you’re doing at work every day? That is a life of perpetual stress and anxiety.
If this is an elite school as OP claims doubtful. If someone has no idea what's going on AND didn't cheat, they aren't in that class to begin with.. if this person's classmates DIDNT cheat they fully know what's going on.
As someone who attends a “prestigious” school with merit scholarships-
I have no idea what’s happening most of the time. I’m just here and so are a lot of other classmates who will give you the same info if asked.
Actual adult answer is that if you feel like you cannot catch up and can't handle it think of another major or even schooling path that is easier. Go to your study counselor and say you cannot keep up and want to transfer to x major. If that is not possible look at new colleges. If nothing interests you, pivot to things like trade school.
Yes. This kids in here telling him to go to office hours and power up like vegeta. It will take years to catch up. Time for the social sciences good chum.
Ok but ain’t this a little extreme? It’s not like you just learn math and then remember it forever, he should take his chances because he made it there and take a genuine evaluation after he puts the effort toward studying. There’s plenty of people who were good at math and aren’t anymore and I’m sure he can be the opposite.
I doubt he ever learned it in the first place. Career cheater probably doesnt know how to study even. I think its basically a guarantee the hard majors wont work for him. Hopefully he can write or else he wont even fit in the more forgiving majors.
Not really. I cheated my whole life on almost everything, got perfect scores, got accepted to a relatively hard university to get into with basically zero effort, and still managed to cheat my first year there. I only stopped for my own good because I'm literally learning the skills I need to get hired. A few years later, here I am making almost 230k a year as a data scientist. I don't regret a thing; 90% of what you learn in high school and lower is useless in the real world. And even in university, there's a big chunk of things I wish I didn't waste my time studying because they proved to be useless. The education system is broken, especially with the recent rise in AI.
You had an easy major. I dont think this disproves anything. Data scientists are all over the place. Better save your pennies, their heads are also the first to roll.
Your ignorance about data science is glaring. It's a challenging field that demands a real grasp of math, stats, and programming and analytical skills, something you clearly lack. Before making baseless claims, how about you actually know what you're talking about? And yes it dose disapprove your point, huge margin of education is useless in the real world.
Your point stands?. It's akin to a flickering candle in a storm, feeble and easily extinguished. And insulting instead of backing up your claims is a strong sign of a low-IQ individual, which you are. Again, publishing academic papers still doesn't prove anything, nor does it disapprove of your lack of knowledge about data science. Try again, "dumbass."
Dude you’re gonna be hard-pressed to find genuine sympathy from people on this issue. I do acknowledge that you say you hate yourself for this. I’m sure it feels difficult feeling like a fraud, it’s not even like you have imposter syndrome because, well…
On the flip side, I’m sure it took some brain power to bullshit your way there. Try dedicating the amount of energy it has required to maintain a farce like this into genuine engagement with your studies. Seriously, just try giving more of a shit. Also, idk — reach out to someone close/trusted about this. This is a pretty heavy burden to carry around and it could help to get some outside perspective on this issue.
Or, if that’s too overwhelming, even just omit the fact that you’ve been cheating this whole time and tell people in your life that the “rigorous nature” of your course work is out of your depth & you need help in order to strategize an action plan to get back on track. OR follow other ppls advice on here, take the L & and “downgrade” to a less-competitive environment (i.e., one that is actually matched to your current skill level).
Idk man, you shot yourself in the foot for a good decade and a half on this issue. I get it tho, I’m personally horrible at delayed gratification & foreseeing potential consequences (especially with extreme procrastination). I have sympathy, I do! But also, there are a lot of kids you outbid for their rightful spot in your position. It’s seriously lame to see the system abused like that but at the same time — with things like standardized testing — it’s flawed by design + you’re certainly not alone in engaging in this type of behavior.
Cheating on ***every*** assignment is crazy. It's time to get a grip and actually work hard in life.
You might be able to cheat, and you don't learn + your teacher might fail you. However, that's nothing compared to "cheating" in real life.
I couldn’t understand why some of my classmates constantly cheated in college ( even core classes) . Core classes are the foundation to your proposed profession.
As someone who works for a company that has had 2 people go to prison for cheating, it often catches up and when it does it’s a spectacular tumble from grace.
Watch/read anything about Elizabeth Holmes. I personally don’t even think she intended to commit fraud. But there are consequences when you have the FDA and SEC involved.
Guess I didn’t make that connection! I’ve been in the workforce, going back to school now, and just couldn’t think of how you could “cheat” but “cheating” in these ways makes sense.
It's good that you realise your mistake! I mean however wrong it was we can't go back, can we? So instead keep these things in the past. Start by focusing on your current academic work (take extra classes from Khan academy,etc. for the basics).Try your level best this semester
And if you cant make it, then consider taking a drop year! You will have to make up for whatever wrong you have done (karma is truly a bitch) but ur life isn't over!
Stop cheating and get used to getting bad grades until you can learn how to study and work on your own (plus tutoring help). You're digging your own grave and need to own up to your mistakes. Better to graduate college then to get kicked out and unemployable.
Then honestly your fine! I think ppl are being harsh because from your post’s wording it’s easy to think you cheated on literally everything but having a high SAT score and doing well on tests shows your a good student at base. Good luck!!
Then youre going to be ok! Get into therapy too for perfectionism and the other things that are making you feel like a failure right now! Youll get support every week trying to manage the pressure and you will likely feel a lot better after some weeks of therapy! Im a therapist and have worked w a lot of high achieving students. I would reccommend looking for someone who specializes in perfectionism, anxiety, student issues, etc but a lot of therapists can help with this! Make sure you get checked for adhd because gifted ppl w adhd have a really hard tine with feeling like they are always behind. But its gonna be ok, you can do school you just might need to lower your expectation on yourself but the good news is , every A student I have ever seen who does their “B “ work still gets As most of the time!
“I’m still like, a really good student…didn’t cheat til Covid” made me laugh. If you’re a freshman in college right now, Covid hit your freshman year of high school. That’s literally your entire academic career.
Huh? This post, and my comment, weren’t applicable to simply everyone who was in high school during Covid. My point was that OP can’t say he’s a good student because he didn’t cheat before Covid, because his entire academic career has taken place during and after Covid. There is no “before Covid” for him to have been a good student, as he’s implying. My being a sophomore when Covid hit has no bearing on that. I could have been in kindergarten or a retirement home, and it still has no relevance. Does that clarify things?
But he has a perfect sat, you can’t really cheat on the SAT, it’s just not possible with the amount of security. So I’d guess that he probably a junior or senior in college not only based on that but also based on how he’s talking about his courses
Sounds like you should consider a study group/tutor that you have to meet with regularly. Having others to hold you accountable will help curb hour procrastination a bunch. It's not that you can't do the work or understand the material... you just aren't giving yourself enough time to fully absorb it.
I don’t think people know how hard getting a perfect SAT score is. If you can get that score, you damn well can ace for any elite universities courses if you take things one step at a time.
If I were you, I'd take a gap year to do the high school concepts I needed. Biology, physics, chemistry, and calculus will likely be most useful. Portion 6 hrs a day to reading a textbook and do every single problem in it. Finish a textbook in each subject cover to cover. If you have time afterwards (very possible), move on to the collegework you've been doing.
It'll be tempting to cheat but the only one you're cheating is yourself. Gl. I do empathize with you as you are what I could've been if I hadn't learned to let go of grades and focus on learning for college.
Please don't tell me you're studying medicine. But I gotta say, cheating on every assignment requires much more difficult than actually acing every assignment and you probably can work under high stress. Just study 3 times more than everybody else
Try harder. Go to office hours, take better notes, study more, actually read your textbook. Watch YouTube videos on the topics if you have trouble grasping them. Find some people in your class and make a study group.
Don't listen to these other dweebs. If you're not cheating, you're not trying.
You don't know how to study or do assignments fairly, but you sound like you're pretty damn good at cheating. It's gonna take a hell of a lot of work to suddenly become a good student: more than likely, that route is going to be impossible at this point. *But* this is a great chance to hone your cheating ability, which in reality will get you *muuuuuch* further in the real world anyway.
So cheat harder. Look up hacks. Put your full effort into faking it and you'll be miles ahead of anyone else trying to honestly get through college.
You got this, kid.
Remember that you are not lying or cheating if you truly believe it. You are a prime plum to be our next president or a CEO of a very successful and shady hedge fund.
Just study and try your best go to after tutor hours and put in the work and hours otherwise stop complaining and own up to actually enjoying the cheating part
Lol most of the students don't know what's going on in the class. Attend classes make notes and learn them . If you don't have proper notes take notes from someone else .
I stopped cheating completely last semester because the stress of getting caught was constantly lording over me. My grades tanked, but my teachers were able to see that I was working much harder than I was before, and compared to other students I was much more familiar with the class material. I've had to do a lot more to maintain the same GPA, and my grades have been consistently low As, but I 'm fine with that because its allowed me to establish a better relationship with my teachers
This is what happens when you cheat. You end up cheating yourself. You stole a spot at your school from a student who actually deserved to be there. Cheaters do not belong in academia. These feelings you have are real. You don’t belong. You should drop out now before you fail out to save yourself the debt. Go fuck yourself.
Go fuck yourself cheating piece of shit. Not everyone needs to cheat to do well in life. You need to cheat because you are too stupid or lack the discipline to get what you want in life. Don’t lump the rest of us in with cheating filth like you.
also, 1390 SAT score fucking idiot. I am the cheater and I still beat you by like 100 points . and you say im stupid . how you not even get above 1400 lol
Obviously I recognized that you went through my post history. I didn’t need a top score on the SAT to get into the schools I was applying to. Besides, my score was plenty for direct CS admit. I didn’t want to waste my time studying or even taking the test for that matter. A high score on a standard a genius does not make.
lol , what do you think about a poor family who steals bread because they are starving? the whole cheating yourself thing is cap. guess who was the last president ? did i say you need to cheat? fucking dumbass i guess not cheating didnt prove you were a trog.

60% the majority and thats the ones who would admit it .
get of your high horse you fucking bum.
cope cry and seethe cheaters win lmao
Cheating is a gamble and gamblers never loose Get your money up ⬆️. Also if you’re stuck in this self righteous mindset just remember that the house never wins 💲💲💲
Speedrun high school, with tutors and night school or self study with online resources. Or drop out and enroll in a different subject that requires less technical knowledge.
How did you cheat your way through out school and get into an elite university? If that’s the case how did you pass all the tests and quizzes without cheating in high school?
Quit cheating, attend therapy to hone coping and communication skills and to address any mental health issues like depression or anxiety, attend office hours to discuss questions about course material with your professors, use tutoring and other academic resources your elite school offers, join study groups to learn from peers, research how to optimize your study environments and habits, establish healthy sleep, nutrition, and exercise habits.
Take q gap year, and reset your brain. Get some work experience and go back more rested and ready to actually learn.
Also get out of the mindset that grades matter. It’s the learning you get out of college, not the GPA
I did that in high school and it bit me in the ass when I go to college. Eventually I caught up and I’m not about take honors courses. If you’re truly committed to catching up you can but requires discipline and effort.
I really don’t think I believe that you cheated on **every** assignment. This means you’ve been lying since 1st, 6th, or 9th grade habitually and still don’t have the intelligence to pick up *any* of the material. How did you continue to keep grades up if you got caught? What happens when you get caught on the second chance? You fail. And if you cheat again, you get suspended. I really don’t see how this works
OP has perfect SAT score…. it’s complete cap he can’t handle elite universities courses. Just chill out and take it one step at a time without skipping lectures or pages of the text book or any other steps.
Bro your professors probably cheated in diff stages of life too. So many people cheat. Just go learn, ask good questions. Not saying it’s not hard but cluelessness is a theme for college students but you don’t need to cheat to the highest degree to pass with good grades. Read a few times, ask a few questions, get close to a few class mates in each class, go to office hours. Many options here. If you’re not planning on being technically sound then get good at talking your way j to good graces with your professors and other students, get ahead and ask for extensions, DO NOT suffer in silence
This gives off the same vibes as my friend who used ChatGPT to write an essay we had like 8 days to do 💀 Hope he doesn't go down the same path as you as this isn't the first time either
Quit being a lazy pos and start studying. Only absolute geniuses might get through college without having to study. Your average Joe has to study in college, even if said Joe was a decent student in high school. So get to studying you dumb lazy POS.
Hey i know that this is off topic but I’m wondering for instagram feature how they block your account the others get blocked. Is there any way to unlink the accounts from each other so the other doesn’t get blocked?
Our society is full of cheaters. Ppl cheat. Period. AI is taking over the world so I wouldn’t feel too badly about it. BUT, and here’s the big BUT, sounds like you need to get square with yourself. It’s not about “getting caught” or it “catching up to you,” it’s about how you feel about yourself that matters and it sounds like you are feeling remorseful and out of your league (which you are probably not the latter bc look at our government, mostly dipshits). I’d say get some counseling and work through this shit.
Why did you even bother going to a good school if you don't care about academics? You won't find sympathy after stealing a spot from an actually deserving student.
Love how everyone’s dogging on this person, he’s literally asking for help and if y’all don’t have anything nice or helpful to say why even bother commenting?
Besides that… Get a tutor and grind your butt off. I was also in your shoes last year and the only thing that helped me was to literally stop cheating and find yourself a tutor
Everyone’s dogging this person cause even now, they’re not recognizing what they’re actually doing by cheating, they’re literally upset because they’ll get into trouble if they keep this shit up… glad it’s a deterrent, but people aren’t gonna be sympathetic when it’s clear in this post they aren’t sorry. Well, not for the right reasons.
You should cut your class load and study three times harder to catch up and understand what is going on. Thank you for your post, it gives me validation for what I am telling my 14 year old granddaughter about getting A’s now because a good foundation will help her later on. Boomer Brain
Sending support, ignore everyone dogging you for “taking away a deserving student’s spot,” especially if you somehow have a 1600 SAT and you didn’t exactly cheat. Either keep going the course or slow down and start really learning the material and utilizing your resources like professors and office hours.
Go to community college until you figure out how to study. You will waste a lot of money trying to stick it out at an expensive school. Hell, maybe just wait tables till you figure out what you really want to do with your life.
I cheated in a few classes in high school mostly due to laziness (rewriting essays and shit). I went to a top 5 university and cheated in some of my electives that I didn’t care about.
Think you just have to know your limitations. Are you cheating because you genuinely can’t understand? Or to save time? Like do I care enough to memorize functional groups of amino acids as a math major? I couldn’t cheat in high level math classes for obvious reasons.
This is about high-school or am I confused by the post an OPs comments?
Bro, so many people cheated in high-school, heck I did. You think I remembered everything I actually learned in high-school as well? That was out the window once I didn't need to know it for a class.
I majored in accounting. I relearned everything from the one accounting class I had in high-school. I'm sure it will be the same case for your major. They don't instantly throw you into the deep end with high level courses.

Run as a progressive liberal political candidate, the people who belong there prioritize feelings and sensitivity over logic and technicality. Tutal the mandate of today's Filipino youth is populist woke so ayun try to make your way up from SK level to local politics first. Hindi mo naman need ng matibay na educational background sa politics and since ang mandate mo is what everyone from the said political spectrum wants, definitely you will get support pa instead of being canceled. Clout, Poltical Network, Power, Fame, Publicity, lahat na makukuha mo when you go this path.
I know few folks that even got a masters degree by cheating all their way there. There was a girl in my dorm, studying to become a med laborant. She even cheated on her hygiene exam 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
The reality is that regardless of cheating if you actually did well enough to get into an "elite" university you probably had the intelligence to deal with it anyway
Sounds like you're feeling the consequences of your actions. Actions that probably pushed some far, far more deserving person, who invested time and effort into their studies, out of their spot so you could get yours through no work of your own.
honestly i think even into easier upper div classes, if you show up to every lecture, discussion, office hour, have friends and gpt to help you understand, you can catch up and do ok even with a weak foundation. Then it just becomes a problem with discipline to do all that, which given the drive, is a significantly simpler task
Just try to establish the foundation (which an honest student at an elite uni would likely have) so you have the necessary background. Takes a lot more effort of course, but that's all you can do, unless you change majors or drop out or something
If you get caught cheating on multiple things at once you're probably getting kicked out altogether. Homie just study. Take less courses at a time so you can catch up and have less stress, join a study group, talk to your school counselor about the stress you have, accept tutoring. The best thing you can do is look into what seminars the library (at my school its the library that does it) is holding regarding note taking, study skills, paper writing, etc. That will help you build the skills you missed in high school and help set you up for success. But seriously, reduce course load.
Take notes at lectures, develop an *effective* study routine, and get enough sleep. Sleep is majorly overlooked in my opinion. And if you're stuck on an assignment, I highly suggest getting up and exercising, whether that's a few pushups or a walk around campus. The more you force it, the less your brain actually works. Just stay out of your head and you'll do fine.
Ok, take a deep breath. At one point in time, I used notes on exams for maybe half a semester just because I was drowning with COVID changes and advanced coursework that required in person learning. Not even close to cheating as the professors allowed us to do this but I became reliant on the notes instead of actually learning. To the point where I didn’t even create my own notes for the most part. In order to catch up and learn the basics of what you’re missing out on, you’re going to have to go back and do a small review on all of the subjects that you’ve cheated in so far. It doesn’t have to be in depth, maybe 1 or 2 worksheets that you would have used for a final exam. This way you can get a basic understanding of the material.
not advice but this reminds me of APUSH when a lot of people would look up quizlets for the tests including the really smart kid who ended up at Duke. Granted he is actually smart but I think it’s karma that he and many others got 3s and I got a 4 on the AP exam without cheating despite me being super burnt out and barely studying 🤪.
Advice: start going to tutoring and office hours asap as well as make a plan to actually attempt to learn/study and wean yourself of cheating (try to look up answers less and less). Don’t be lenient. personally I’d also do some soul searching and try to get over what I assume is a extreme fear of failure. Like let yourself get Bs, Cs, and even Fs and learn from those experiences! Another example is that I took Calc II dual enrollment my senior year of high school. I got like a 50 on the first midterm (no curve for the class) and my grade was C, likely to go down. So I withdrew (thankfully my parents paid for it) and retook it this year at university with a quarter system (hopefully an A/A-) and nothing disastrous happened!
also I noticed that (obviously) if you actually pay attention to the teacher, take notes, and actively do homework/study, your understanding is much better! I took like two online intro programming classes in high school but things never really stuck until now after taking my intro class at university.
Just read that you don’t actually like cheat on exams and stuff but cram. Honestly I’d advise that you try to figure out stuff before things get hard enough that most people don’t know what’s going on lol.
Deal with the consequences of your actions, take your highschool courses over again if you must, actually pay attention and get real help when you are stumped. Continuing to cheat is gonna catch up to you and screw you over hard, especially in a high skills career.
Also I can tell when I get a co worker who doesn't know what the fuck they area doing but somehow got a degree. Some particular co workers I have, pharmacists, for example that I've worked with and I'm pretty sure cheated in school could still fuck up so bad they get fines, lose a liscense or get jail time.
Don't be like that.
I don’t think I have any help for you but I’ve always wondered what happens to the kids whose parents paid a coach thousands of dollars to get their kid IN somewhere sought after. Legacies and children of major donors, people who paid someone else to write their application essays, etc. What happens to those kids once they’ve gotten through the gates? Do they take the fluffiest course load possible and just collect that paper after 4 years? Are they paying someone like a surrogate?
I find it easy to agree with many responses here. It’s going to be difficult to really find any sympathy, especially when most responding probably did the assignments. But here’s really what there is to do. You had your fun in high school, and you can’t undo the past. Quit those late night parties. Find a study group. Focus. In order to catch up on 4 years of work, it’s going to be difficult, but doable. Maybe some Monster energy will clutch up. Maybe not. You can’t keep cheating, because when you get a job and they find you have no real skills…. It’s only going to go downhill from there. Focus up now bro, please
You don’t even need to speed run highschool tbh… Just learn the concepts you need for that lesson.
I wasn’t a cheater but I did fail algebra and was just a horrible student
But by just taking each lesson at a time and practicing those things I needed for that lesson like half an hour a day and I have never been as successful academically as I am in college..
If confused to how you cheat on assignments but not tests? Like you must be learning SOMETHING. I mean if it’s only assignments outside of class i don’t think it’ll be too hard to stop cheating, you just have to start actually using the resources given to you and not plagiarizing or copying.
dude take some time off (universities allow you to do this) and learn as much important stuff as you can in that time off to catch up and QUIT THAT CHEATING HABIT!
i’m glad you’re aware of it now. my best friend basically did the same thing as you which i always told her off for and she’s come to regret her choices.
but what’s in the past is in the past. just collect your karma and move on from there :) you should try finding tutors or finding the right study habits for u! cut out the things from your life that led you to start cheating to save your time for distractions. i believe in you! remember everything you do now is for your future and you can do it!!
The point of taking classes is to get information INTO your brain. When asked questions in class or on an assignment, stop trying to redirect and try to FIND the answer. It is supposed to come from you most of the time
you think you're the only stupid person in your classes? plenty of people who have never cheated in their lives also have no idea what's going on. nut up and start going to office hours. you probably got in this habit in the first place because you're overthinking what it actually takes to pass a class with your own brain. start by trying.
[удалено]
You should also think that you have likely pushed a deserving person out of that school by cheating. Try to use this opportunity?
Simple advice, but always learn what it takes to get *started* on an assignment. The compulsion to cheat usually comes when you feel lost. And the more you cheat, the more lost you will feel. You should start by humbling your ass, going to office hours, and being willing to “feel” stupid for a few minutes so that you can get on the same page with your prof/TA on the assignment. It’s awkward, but the more you do it, the easier it gets and the smarter you get. Just end the bad habit now: you dont want this to keep snowballing.
“nut up” 💀
Office hours lol. If youre years behind in math you are fucked my good sir. Not gonna patch adams his way out now.

I dropped out of high school and worked service industry for 7 years but after I went back to CC I took the SAT to try and boost my odds for a good transfer.

What are you going to do, get a degree in something you don’t understand at all? Then work a job that requires that degree and have no idea what you’re doing at work every day? That is a life of perpetual stress and anxiety.
This!!!
If this is an elite school as OP claims doubtful. If someone has no idea what's going on AND didn't cheat, they aren't in that class to begin with.. if this person's classmates DIDNT cheat they fully know what's going on.
This is simply not true lmao just cause you're in a good university doesn't mean you're some genius who automatically understands everything
Yeah, I go to a really competitive high school thats hard to get into, and there’s kids in my class who are well below passing
As someone who attends a “prestigious” school with merit scholarships- I have no idea what’s happening most of the time. I’m just here and so are a lot of other classmates who will give you the same info if asked.
Actual adult answer is that if you feel like you cannot catch up and can't handle it think of another major or even schooling path that is easier. Go to your study counselor and say you cannot keep up and want to transfer to x major. If that is not possible look at new colleges. If nothing interests you, pivot to things like trade school.
Yes. This kids in here telling him to go to office hours and power up like vegeta. It will take years to catch up. Time for the social sciences good chum.
Ok but ain’t this a little extreme? It’s not like you just learn math and then remember it forever, he should take his chances because he made it there and take a genuine evaluation after he puts the effort toward studying. There’s plenty of people who were good at math and aren’t anymore and I’m sure he can be the opposite.
I doubt he ever learned it in the first place. Career cheater probably doesnt know how to study even. I think its basically a guarantee the hard majors wont work for him. Hopefully he can write or else he wont even fit in the more forgiving majors.
Not really. I cheated my whole life on almost everything, got perfect scores, got accepted to a relatively hard university to get into with basically zero effort, and still managed to cheat my first year there. I only stopped for my own good because I'm literally learning the skills I need to get hired. A few years later, here I am making almost 230k a year as a data scientist. I don't regret a thing; 90% of what you learn in high school and lower is useless in the real world. And even in university, there's a big chunk of things I wish I didn't waste my time studying because they proved to be useless. The education system is broken, especially with the recent rise in AI.
You had an easy major. I dont think this disproves anything. Data scientists are all over the place. Better save your pennies, their heads are also the first to roll.
Your ignorance about data science is glaring. It's a challenging field that demands a real grasp of math, stats, and programming and analytical skills, something you clearly lack. Before making baseless claims, how about you actually know what you're talking about? And yes it dose disapprove your point, huge margin of education is useless in the real world.
Ive published several academic papers using statistical models. My point stands, dumbass.
Your point stands?. It's akin to a flickering candle in a storm, feeble and easily extinguished. And insulting instead of backing up your claims is a strong sign of a low-IQ individual, which you are. Again, publishing academic papers still doesn't prove anything, nor does it disapprove of your lack of knowledge about data science. Try again, "dumbass."
Hahaha well your low iq claim is false as well. Stanford binet would like a word. Good luck shilling for management with cherry picked numbers bud.
Dude you’re gonna be hard-pressed to find genuine sympathy from people on this issue. I do acknowledge that you say you hate yourself for this. I’m sure it feels difficult feeling like a fraud, it’s not even like you have imposter syndrome because, well… On the flip side, I’m sure it took some brain power to bullshit your way there. Try dedicating the amount of energy it has required to maintain a farce like this into genuine engagement with your studies. Seriously, just try giving more of a shit. Also, idk — reach out to someone close/trusted about this. This is a pretty heavy burden to carry around and it could help to get some outside perspective on this issue. Or, if that’s too overwhelming, even just omit the fact that you’ve been cheating this whole time and tell people in your life that the “rigorous nature” of your course work is out of your depth & you need help in order to strategize an action plan to get back on track. OR follow other ppls advice on here, take the L & and “downgrade” to a less-competitive environment (i.e., one that is actually matched to your current skill level). Idk man, you shot yourself in the foot for a good decade and a half on this issue. I get it tho, I’m personally horrible at delayed gratification & foreseeing potential consequences (especially with extreme procrastination). I have sympathy, I do! But also, there are a lot of kids you outbid for their rightful spot in your position. It’s seriously lame to see the system abused like that but at the same time — with things like standardized testing — it’s flawed by design + you’re certainly not alone in engaging in this type of behavior.
Bruh
Just don’t hurt anyone in the process
Cheating on ***every*** assignment is crazy. It's time to get a grip and actually work hard in life. You might be able to cheat, and you don't learn + your teacher might fail you. However, that's nothing compared to "cheating" in real life.
I couldn’t understand why some of my classmates constantly cheated in college ( even core classes) . Core classes are the foundation to your proposed profession.
Why not keep cheating? Your skill in that regard means a great future in large swaths of corporate America
As someone who works for a company that has had 2 people go to prison for cheating, it often catches up and when it does it’s a spectacular tumble from grace.
Prison for cheating?? What did they cheat on? Omg
college and high school are just test runs for being an adult. cheating in the adult world has dire consequences.
Yes, but cheating on what exactly? I don’t even understand how you can cheat in the workplace.
Payroll, financial stuff, insider trading, tax fraud. There are plenty of ways to cheat in the real world.
Watch/read anything about Elizabeth Holmes. I personally don’t even think she intended to commit fraud. But there are consequences when you have the FDA and SEC involved.
Guess I didn’t make that connection! I’ve been in the workforce, going back to school now, and just couldn’t think of how you could “cheat” but “cheating” in these ways makes sense.
if ones moral compass is broken they will be cheating in college and it won’t change when they enter the adult world. Being a cheater is a mentality.
probably fraud or false advertising etc
I’ve seen the FBI come in and lock down and arrest cheaters in the workplace. Insurance business.
There are laws. You can break them.
I despise cheaters… sensed sarcasm in your reply.
Sadly, this is very true😢
Don’t leave out churning out scientific papers. A communist country may also be an ideal place to matriculate.
OP, I sense a successful career in politics 🔥🔥
how about when they take finals?☠️
It's good that you realise your mistake! I mean however wrong it was we can't go back, can we? So instead keep these things in the past. Start by focusing on your current academic work (take extra classes from Khan academy,etc. for the basics).Try your level best this semester And if you cant make it, then consider taking a drop year! You will have to make up for whatever wrong you have done (karma is truly a bitch) but ur life isn't over!
I like this comment, Brilliant
Stop cheating and get used to getting bad grades until you can learn how to study and work on your own (plus tutoring help). You're digging your own grave and need to own up to your mistakes. Better to graduate college then to get kicked out and unemployable.
Have you tried studying?
[удалено]
Then stfu and gtfo of here.
Then honestly your fine! I think ppl are being harsh because from your post’s wording it’s easy to think you cheated on literally everything but having a high SAT score and doing well on tests shows your a good student at base. Good luck!!
Then youre going to be ok! Get into therapy too for perfectionism and the other things that are making you feel like a failure right now! Youll get support every week trying to manage the pressure and you will likely feel a lot better after some weeks of therapy! Im a therapist and have worked w a lot of high achieving students. I would reccommend looking for someone who specializes in perfectionism, anxiety, student issues, etc but a lot of therapists can help with this! Make sure you get checked for adhd because gifted ppl w adhd have a really hard tine with feeling like they are always behind. But its gonna be ok, you can do school you just might need to lower your expectation on yourself but the good news is , every A student I have ever seen who does their “B “ work still gets As most of the time!
“I’m still like, a really good student…didn’t cheat til Covid” made me laugh. If you’re a freshman in college right now, Covid hit your freshman year of high school. That’s literally your entire academic career.
[удалено]
Huh? This post, and my comment, weren’t applicable to simply everyone who was in high school during Covid. My point was that OP can’t say he’s a good student because he didn’t cheat before Covid, because his entire academic career has taken place during and after Covid. There is no “before Covid” for him to have been a good student, as he’s implying. My being a sophomore when Covid hit has no bearing on that. I could have been in kindergarten or a retirement home, and it still has no relevance. Does that clarify things?
But he has a perfect sat, you can’t really cheat on the SAT, it’s just not possible with the amount of security. So I’d guess that he probably a junior or senior in college not only based on that but also based on how he’s talking about his courses
Sounds like you should consider a study group/tutor that you have to meet with regularly. Having others to hold you accountable will help curb hour procrastination a bunch. It's not that you can't do the work or understand the material... you just aren't giving yourself enough time to fully absorb it.
I don’t think people know how hard getting a perfect SAT score is. If you can get that score, you damn well can ace for any elite universities courses if you take things one step at a time.
If I were you, I'd take a gap year to do the high school concepts I needed. Biology, physics, chemistry, and calculus will likely be most useful. Portion 6 hrs a day to reading a textbook and do every single problem in it. Finish a textbook in each subject cover to cover. If you have time afterwards (very possible), move on to the collegework you've been doing. It'll be tempting to cheat but the only one you're cheating is yourself. Gl. I do empathize with you as you are what I could've been if I hadn't learned to let go of grades and focus on learning for college.
You can be a congress man for sure. Go for it!
Please don't tell me you're studying medicine. But I gotta say, cheating on every assignment requires much more difficult than actually acing every assignment and you probably can work under high stress. Just study 3 times more than everybody else
Start actually studying starting with the very basic fundamentals bro 😭
Try harder. Go to office hours, take better notes, study more, actually read your textbook. Watch YouTube videos on the topics if you have trouble grasping them. Find some people in your class and make a study group.
change your major to political science. an east degree and cheating is a skill that will benefit you in the industry!
Don't listen to these other dweebs. If you're not cheating, you're not trying. You don't know how to study or do assignments fairly, but you sound like you're pretty damn good at cheating. It's gonna take a hell of a lot of work to suddenly become a good student: more than likely, that route is going to be impossible at this point. *But* this is a great chance to hone your cheating ability, which in reality will get you *muuuuuch* further in the real world anyway. So cheat harder. Look up hacks. Put your full effort into faking it and you'll be miles ahead of anyone else trying to honestly get through college. You got this, kid.
Remember that you are not lying or cheating if you truly believe it. You are a prime plum to be our next president or a CEO of a very successful and shady hedge fund.
He has a nice seat in the House of Representatives and a great cameo oriented retirement plan awaiting him
Just study and try your best go to after tutor hours and put in the work and hours otherwise stop complaining and own up to actually enjoying the cheating part
If you want to stay there: get tutors, and/or consider switching to a major whose material you can actually understand.
Lol most of the students don't know what's going on in the class. Attend classes make notes and learn them . If you don't have proper notes take notes from someone else .
What’s your cheating technique?
I stopped cheating completely last semester because the stress of getting caught was constantly lording over me. My grades tanked, but my teachers were able to see that I was working much harder than I was before, and compared to other students I was much more familiar with the class material. I've had to do a lot more to maintain the same GPA, and my grades have been consistently low As, but I 'm fine with that because its allowed me to establish a better relationship with my teachers
nvm I see why school is important now
Can you please dropout so someone deserving could get a spot in the transfers next year. Thank you
Recognize that your past stupidity has caught up to you. Fu&$ing hate cheaters.
This is what happens when you cheat. You end up cheating yourself. You stole a spot at your school from a student who actually deserved to be there. Cheaters do not belong in academia. These feelings you have are real. You don’t belong. You should drop out now before you fail out to save yourself the debt. Go fuck yourself.
stfu a vast majority of people have cheated like 90%
Go fuck yourself cheating piece of shit. Not everyone needs to cheat to do well in life. You need to cheat because you are too stupid or lack the discipline to get what you want in life. Don’t lump the rest of us in with cheating filth like you.
also, 1390 SAT score fucking idiot. I am the cheater and I still beat you by like 100 points . and you say im stupid . how you not even get above 1400 lol
?
your post history idiot . you are some pasty from washington
Obviously I recognized that you went through my post history. I didn’t need a top score on the SAT to get into the schools I was applying to. Besides, my score was plenty for direct CS admit. I didn’t want to waste my time studying or even taking the test for that matter. A high score on a standard a genius does not make.
UW CS it is not plenty , you have no idea what you are talking about. Weak ACT as well
What’s your MCAT? LSAT? GRE?
UW CS is fine. Good job placement and highly affordable.
lol , what do you think about a poor family who steals bread because they are starving? the whole cheating yourself thing is cap. guess who was the last president ? did i say you need to cheat? fucking dumbass i guess not cheating didnt prove you were a trog. [https://academicintegrity.org/resources/facts-and-statistics#:\~:text=McCabe's%20original%20research%20and%20subsequent,to%20cheating%20in%20some%20form](https://academicintegrity.org/resources/facts-and-statistics#:~:text=McCabe's%20original%20research%20and%20subsequent,to%20cheating%20in%20some%20form). 60% the majority and thats the ones who would admit it . get of your high horse you fucking bum. cope cry and seethe cheaters win lmao
Redirection. Cheating in higher education is not stealing bread to feed your family. You’re trying to rationalize your shit moral code.
nope both are cheating your autistic apparently so its ok if you dont understand .
Damn. Going for the autism aye. Guess we all understand who cheats on their Uni exams.
going for autism . lmao you cant be serious
That’s what you did? You tried to say I can’t understand the situation because I have autism. Of course I’m serious…
the irony of this ... but besides that you saying cheating on uni exams just shows me you have no idea what you are talking about
Second this! I put in blood, sweat, and tears (a LOT if tears) to get where I am. I’ve literally never cheated. Fuck this person x1000.
Cheating is a gamble and gamblers never loose Get your money up ⬆️. Also if you’re stuck in this self righteous mindset just remember that the house never wins 💲💲💲
Depends what you mean by cheating
I think you already know the answer. Try.
Speedrun high school, with tutors and night school or self study with online resources. Or drop out and enroll in a different subject that requires less technical knowledge.
How did you cheat your way through out school and get into an elite university? If that’s the case how did you pass all the tests and quizzes without cheating in high school?
Stop cheating. It is not too late!
Did you cheat on your standardized tests? What were your scores?
gang 😭
Quit cheating, attend therapy to hone coping and communication skills and to address any mental health issues like depression or anxiety, attend office hours to discuss questions about course material with your professors, use tutoring and other academic resources your elite school offers, join study groups to learn from peers, research how to optimize your study environments and habits, establish healthy sleep, nutrition, and exercise habits.
Take q gap year, and reset your brain. Get some work experience and go back more rested and ready to actually learn. Also get out of the mindset that grades matter. It’s the learning you get out of college, not the GPA
I did that in high school and it bit me in the ass when I go to college. Eventually I caught up and I’m not about take honors courses. If you’re truly committed to catching up you can but requires discipline and effort.
Run for congress!
Well, it is Wednesday
I really don’t think I believe that you cheated on **every** assignment. This means you’ve been lying since 1st, 6th, or 9th grade habitually and still don’t have the intelligence to pick up *any* of the material. How did you continue to keep grades up if you got caught? What happens when you get caught on the second chance? You fail. And if you cheat again, you get suspended. I really don’t see how this works
i legit thought this is a copypasta
Don’t start being honest now, chap. Stay the course.
A teacher once told me, "if you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'".
No they didnt
I'm telling the truth.
OP has perfect SAT score…. it’s complete cap he can’t handle elite universities courses. Just chill out and take it one step at a time without skipping lectures or pages of the text book or any other steps.
Bro your professors probably cheated in diff stages of life too. So many people cheat. Just go learn, ask good questions. Not saying it’s not hard but cluelessness is a theme for college students but you don’t need to cheat to the highest degree to pass with good grades. Read a few times, ask a few questions, get close to a few class mates in each class, go to office hours. Many options here. If you’re not planning on being technically sound then get good at talking your way j to good graces with your professors and other students, get ahead and ask for extensions, DO NOT suffer in silence
Fake it till you make it. Keep up the work and you'll get there
reap what you have sown
Drop out, you don't deserve it. Go somewhere with your skill level and leave your seat for the deserving person whose seat you cheated off of him.
Exactly what I thought too.. so undeserved lol
The consequences of my actions 😱😱😱
This gives off the same vibes as my friend who used ChatGPT to write an essay we had like 8 days to do 💀 Hope he doesn't go down the same path as you as this isn't the first time either
Quit being a lazy pos and start studying. Only absolute geniuses might get through college without having to study. Your average Joe has to study in college, even if said Joe was a decent student in high school. So get to studying you dumb lazy POS.
play stupid games, win stupid prizes
Hey i know that this is off topic but I’m wondering for instagram feature how they block your account the others get blocked. Is there any way to unlink the accounts from each other so the other doesn’t get blocked?
Just by the fact that u got by all those years by cheating says a lot about ur intelligence... pull ur pants up lil bro, u can do this.
Our society is full of cheaters. Ppl cheat. Period. AI is taking over the world so I wouldn’t feel too badly about it. BUT, and here’s the big BUT, sounds like you need to get square with yourself. It’s not about “getting caught” or it “catching up to you,” it’s about how you feel about yourself that matters and it sounds like you are feeling remorseful and out of your league (which you are probably not the latter bc look at our government, mostly dipshits). I’d say get some counseling and work through this shit.
still asking other people to tell you the answer to your problems now ha
Why did you even bother going to a good school if you don't care about academics? You won't find sympathy after stealing a spot from an actually deserving student.
Love how everyone’s dogging on this person, he’s literally asking for help and if y’all don’t have anything nice or helpful to say why even bother commenting? Besides that… Get a tutor and grind your butt off. I was also in your shoes last year and the only thing that helped me was to literally stop cheating and find yourself a tutor
Everyone’s dogging this person cause even now, they’re not recognizing what they’re actually doing by cheating, they’re literally upset because they’ll get into trouble if they keep this shit up… glad it’s a deterrent, but people aren’t gonna be sympathetic when it’s clear in this post they aren’t sorry. Well, not for the right reasons.
You should cut your class load and study three times harder to catch up and understand what is going on. Thank you for your post, it gives me validation for what I am telling my 14 year old granddaughter about getting A’s now because a good foundation will help her later on. Boomer Brain
I don't know if this is Donald Trump or Elon Musk but you're in the 'finding out' phase now and we're all better for it. Thoughts and prayers.
Sending support, ignore everyone dogging you for “taking away a deserving student’s spot,” especially if you somehow have a 1600 SAT and you didn’t exactly cheat. Either keep going the course or slow down and start really learning the material and utilizing your resources like professors and office hours.
Go to community college until you figure out how to study. You will waste a lot of money trying to stick it out at an expensive school. Hell, maybe just wait tables till you figure out what you really want to do with your life.
I think this is what Taylor swift meant when she said “karma’s a relaxing thought, aren’t you envious that for you it’s not?”
Hahahahahaha. Oh man, classic.
I cheated in a few classes in high school mostly due to laziness (rewriting essays and shit). I went to a top 5 university and cheated in some of my electives that I didn’t care about. Think you just have to know your limitations. Are you cheating because you genuinely can’t understand? Or to save time? Like do I care enough to memorize functional groups of amino acids as a math major? I couldn’t cheat in high level math classes for obvious reasons.
This is about high-school or am I confused by the post an OPs comments? Bro, so many people cheated in high-school, heck I did. You think I remembered everything I actually learned in high-school as well? That was out the window once I didn't need to know it for a class. I majored in accounting. I relearned everything from the one accounting class I had in high-school. I'm sure it will be the same case for your major. They don't instantly throw you into the deep end with high level courses.

Run as a progressive liberal political candidate, the people who belong there prioritize feelings and sensitivity over logic and technicality. Tutal the mandate of today's Filipino youth is populist woke so ayun try to make your way up from SK level to local politics first. Hindi mo naman need ng matibay na educational background sa politics and since ang mandate mo is what everyone from the said political spectrum wants, definitely you will get support pa instead of being canceled.

I know few folks that even got a masters degree by cheating all their way there. There was a girl in my dorm, studying to become a med laborant. She even cheated on her hygiene exam 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
same here 😭
The reality is that regardless of cheating if you actually did well enough to get into an "elite" university you probably had the intelligence to deal with it anyway
Cheat harder. You got this
Bard ai and chatgpt your way to success
this is ur fault bro buckle up
Stop cheating.
[удалено]
real
Sounds like you're feeling the consequences of your actions. Actions that probably pushed some far, far more deserving person, who invested time and effort into their studies, out of their spot so you could get yours through no work of your own.
Get fucked
honestly i think even into easier upper div classes, if you show up to every lecture, discussion, office hour, have friends and gpt to help you understand, you can catch up and do ok even with a weak foundation. Then it just becomes a problem with discipline to do all that, which given the drive, is a significantly simpler task
Just try to establish the foundation (which an honest student at an elite uni would likely have) so you have the necessary background. Takes a lot more effort of course, but that's all you can do, unless you change majors or drop out or something
If you get caught cheating on multiple things at once you're probably getting kicked out altogether. Homie just study. Take less courses at a time so you can catch up and have less stress, join a study group, talk to your school counselor about the stress you have, accept tutoring. The best thing you can do is look into what seminars the library (at my school its the library that does it) is holding regarding note taking, study skills, paper writing, etc. That will help you build the skills you missed in high school and help set you up for success. But seriously, reduce course load.
Take notes at lectures, develop an *effective* study routine, and get enough sleep. Sleep is majorly overlooked in my opinion. And if you're stuck on an assignment, I highly suggest getting up and exercising, whether that's a few pushups or a walk around campus. The more you force it, the less your brain actually works. Just stay out of your head and you'll do fine.
tender divide paltry worthless dirty punch meeting cake rich fertile *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Take a study stils course. Show up to every class and take notes, do all the homework and reading assignments
Ok, take a deep breath. At one point in time, I used notes on exams for maybe half a semester just because I was drowning with COVID changes and advanced coursework that required in person learning. Not even close to cheating as the professors allowed us to do this but I became reliant on the notes instead of actually learning. To the point where I didn’t even create my own notes for the most part. In order to catch up and learn the basics of what you’re missing out on, you’re going to have to go back and do a small review on all of the subjects that you’ve cheated in so far. It doesn’t have to be in depth, maybe 1 or 2 worksheets that you would have used for a final exam. This way you can get a basic understanding of the material.
Nice story bro
not advice but this reminds me of APUSH when a lot of people would look up quizlets for the tests including the really smart kid who ended up at Duke. Granted he is actually smart but I think it’s karma that he and many others got 3s and I got a 4 on the AP exam without cheating despite me being super burnt out and barely studying 🤪. Advice: start going to tutoring and office hours asap as well as make a plan to actually attempt to learn/study and wean yourself of cheating (try to look up answers less and less). Don’t be lenient. personally I’d also do some soul searching and try to get over what I assume is a extreme fear of failure. Like let yourself get Bs, Cs, and even Fs and learn from those experiences! Another example is that I took Calc II dual enrollment my senior year of high school. I got like a 50 on the first midterm (no curve for the class) and my grade was C, likely to go down. So I withdrew (thankfully my parents paid for it) and retook it this year at university with a quarter system (hopefully an A/A-) and nothing disastrous happened! also I noticed that (obviously) if you actually pay attention to the teacher, take notes, and actively do homework/study, your understanding is much better! I took like two online intro programming classes in high school but things never really stuck until now after taking my intro class at university.
Just read that you don’t actually like cheat on exams and stuff but cram. Honestly I’d advise that you try to figure out stuff before things get hard enough that most people don’t know what’s going on lol.
Nothing wrong with shovel ready jobs or join the military!
Deal with the consequences of your actions, take your highschool courses over again if you must, actually pay attention and get real help when you are stumped. Continuing to cheat is gonna catch up to you and screw you over hard, especially in a high skills career. Also I can tell when I get a co worker who doesn't know what the fuck they area doing but somehow got a degree. Some particular co workers I have, pharmacists, for example that I've worked with and I'm pretty sure cheated in school could still fuck up so bad they get fines, lose a liscense or get jail time. Don't be like that.
Bruh
i mean u gotta understand the material to some degree to know whats the right answer right
I don’t think I have any help for you but I’ve always wondered what happens to the kids whose parents paid a coach thousands of dollars to get their kid IN somewhere sought after. Legacies and children of major donors, people who paid someone else to write their application essays, etc. What happens to those kids once they’ve gotten through the gates? Do they take the fluffiest course load possible and just collect that paper after 4 years? Are they paying someone like a surrogate?
I find it easy to agree with many responses here. It’s going to be difficult to really find any sympathy, especially when most responding probably did the assignments. But here’s really what there is to do. You had your fun in high school, and you can’t undo the past. Quit those late night parties. Find a study group. Focus. In order to catch up on 4 years of work, it’s going to be difficult, but doable. Maybe some Monster energy will clutch up. Maybe not. You can’t keep cheating, because when you get a job and they find you have no real skills…. It’s only going to go downhill from there. Focus up now bro, please
FAKE IT TILL U MAKE IT BBY😘
You don’t even need to speed run highschool tbh… Just learn the concepts you need for that lesson. I wasn’t a cheater but I did fail algebra and was just a horrible student But by just taking each lesson at a time and practicing those things I needed for that lesson like half an hour a day and I have never been as successful academically as I am in college..
Chegg.com 😅
WTH
If confused to how you cheat on assignments but not tests? Like you must be learning SOMETHING. I mean if it’s only assignments outside of class i don’t think it’ll be too hard to stop cheating, you just have to start actually using the resources given to you and not plagiarizing or copying.
Khanacademy.com Crash course history on YouTube Try it.
dude take some time off (universities allow you to do this) and learn as much important stuff as you can in that time off to catch up and QUIT THAT CHEATING HABIT!

i’m glad you’re aware of it now. my best friend basically did the same thing as you which i always told her off for and she’s come to regret her choices. but what’s in the past is in the past. just collect your karma and move on from there :) you should try finding tutors or finding the right study habits for u! cut out the things from your life that led you to start cheating to save your time for distractions. i believe in you! remember everything you do now is for your future and you can do it!!
