I know this is wrong
My mother always told me (and still tells me) that hating is wrong, and that I should not wish bad things to other people. So, I’m not doing it. Just let me tell you what happened.
I started my final exams about two and a half weeks ago, and I’m done with that now. I studied really hard for every single exam I had, because I care about school. I care a lot.
Apparently, some of my classmates from my biology class decided that studying was for chumps, and that they’d be better off stealing the final exam, so they could plan their answers beforehand using the book as a source, of course. The next day I got an email from the biology exam coordinator saying that they knew about the leak and the exam had been nullified for everyone, because they couldn’t identify who was involved. Everyone who was depending on that exam to pull up their grade, well, that didn’t happen.
I still got an A in that class, but it really angers me to think that a lot of people got their tests unfairly nullified. It angers me even more that the students who cheated didn’t get caught, and that they’ll probably graduate with a higher GPA than honest hard-working students. And they’ll probably be in all my classes these years to come.
I know I shouldn’t hate the cheating students, or wish them bad things. So the next diagram has nothing to do with them. At all. It’s completely unrelated to the situation.
Wow. LMAO @ the drawing!! I love you. And that is a crappy situation. :(
Aww that’s such a cute picture (and creative way to vent). I hate cheaters too.
Just think about how much smarter and hard working you are compared to them. You’ll definitely get farther in life.
THAT is a sweet diagram, that is :) It’s so funny that all three people have their reproductive organs targeted - hit ‘em where it hurts! Hehe.
I’m sorry about the cheaters though - that sucks. It seems like it would be a lot more work to think all of that covert operations stuff through than to just study. But oh well.
Disgraceful. So there isn’t even a retake? Then again it’s a final but surely under circumstances like these it should be considered. I’m glad you got the A - congratulations - but it’s a little harsh on the students who did study and wanted to bring their grade up.
I’ll hate the cheaters for you. Spot on with the diagram. :P
So you already took the exam, then? I would think, based on the results, that the teacher might be able to figure out which grades were unfairly achieved. I suppose there’s no definite way to prove it, though, so perhaps they can’t enforce any sort of punishment. Hopefully the cheaters will get what’s coming to them, though.
When I was in school, I hated when people would want to even cheat off of my paper. That usually really infuriated me and I’d tell them no. I was a great student and I worked hard and I wasn’t about to let anyone get by off of what I was doing.
You’re so cuuute! <3 Well the picture is, anyway.
I worried about the same thing as you (them getting higher grades, etc.) but I’m sure it’s not about grades anymore once you actually enter the workforce. If their actual abilities aren’t up to par, they won’t be able to cheat their way around things when they’re on the job. Let’s just hope they do get caught one day and end up with a “Cheated” record or that they’ll get fired/laid off their jobs somewhere down the track. Grats on the A though. ;)
ILY RILLA
I agree with Rilla, since they’re going to just suffer in future for being completely useless shitheads =D
Some copy my answers during classwork, and it really gets me angry since they get higher marks for what I did, and everyone else, but when it came to the real exam, it was clear on who did their work and who didn’t.
I’m sure they’re going to be punished in later days, indirectly or not. And that’s because what goes around comes around! XD
LOL That drawing is perfect. I love the scissors — nice touch.
Ah, so many ways of punishment shown there. I love the look on the second guy’s face!
My mother also tells me to not wish bad things on others - because God can ‘just turn it around like that’ *snaps fingers* … Mums must all follow the same morals or something.
Test cheating in the Psychology department didn’t happen very often — probably because classes were fairly small and everyone knew each other. Plus, the exams were created in such a way where you could have freakin’ Freud right in front of you and you would still FAIL! Heh.
They gave us hell about plagiarism, though — I’m guessing most of the cheating occurred with investigations/research papers, etc.
But! I’ve noticed it happens more often in the Natural Sciences department. I had a roommate who was a Biology major and another who was a Chemistry major and they were always complaining about some drama related to cheating/test-stealing/etc!! Plus, I took classes with a few Biology professors who would tell us the most unbelievable stories. Whoever said “where there’s a will, there’s a way” sure wasn’t kidding!
HAHAHAHA. This is the most beautiful thing in the world. I love how the blue guy is looking down at the scissors like, “NO NOT DOWN THERE!!!”
You have some mad art skillz XD
That drawing is awesome. Can you give me tutorials on drawing something like that? ;D
I find it surprising that this can even happen. When I was in school, exams came packed in sealed bags and they were opened in front of us in the exam room. Even the teachers don’t know what’s on them until they read them (at the same time as the students)
Love the drawing - very creative way of expressing your distaste ;)
Our exams actually came in a sealed envelope. o_o
They are packed at bio department offices though. Whoever was involved probably worked as a student-assistant for the bio department or knew someone who did.
It’s frustrating :P
that definitely sucks. it really irritates me when a few people ruin things for everyone. the picture’s cute though. as for knowing its wrong to wish harm to others…certain times are harder than others. :(
Hey again! You may or may not know this, but you’re on a website that displays WordPress powered sites! I thought I’d just take a screen shot :D It’s on welovewp.com

If you know about this then sorry for being Captain Obvious :P
Ughh I hate cheaters as well! But if they relied on stolen answers to pass then for sure they won’t actually go anywhere in the future. Karma is a bitch ;) .
LOL at that picture :P.
Actually, they sent me an e-mail when they featured my site in the gallery :D
Thanks anyway for telling me, it means a lot to me that my visitors recognize my site when they see it somewhere else!
I love the diagram! Sometimes I want to do that to my classmates, haha.
It’s really unfair that they nullified the exam for everyone, lots of people were probably counting on that grade to raise their average score. It’s ridiculous how people want to get things their way and then screw up everything and involve the people that weren’t aware of this issue or didn’t want to participate.
I LOVE the visual representation of how you’re feeling but not wishing bad things upon people. :D Very great way to vent for sure. That stinks that some lowlifes would stoop so low as to steal the test. And what a bummer for those people who were counting on that final exam to improve their grade. :P Couldn’t the teacher just have given a different test? You can’t tell me that’s the only version of the test that exists. I mean, what kind of teacher would be silly enough to give the exact same test every year? That kind of encourages some level of cheating right there, doesn’t it?
Well… the test was not the same one as last year’s :P
They did try to give another test after what happened, but the registrar (who sets the official exam dates) didn’t allow it. Apparently, because it was finals week, and students could have other final exams scheduled on those days. We were a big class of over a hundred students. Oh well :P
OMG. That’s so lame! I’d have been really angry too, if I’d been in that class! It does suck that the people who cheated didn’t get caught, but hopefully what’s gone around will come around!
That is super lame, especially since the thieves weren’t caught. Boo!
