Have you ever cheated on a test or copied a term paper?

While a lot of people may have done something like this at some point in school, it probably wasn’t a regular occurrence.

In today’s story, one person admits to cheating in school a lot.

I mean a whole lot.

Like all the time.

Let’s read the whole story.

I cheated to get my bachelors and my masters degree

Yeah I cheated.

I didn’t write any of my papers,

I didn’t do any of the work myself.

Here’s how they did it.

I stole a lot of work.

Took only classes anyone I knew did and used all their work for it with minor changes.

I made it through 6 years and got two degrees.

That’s a LOT of cheating.

I got a scholarship out of high school by cheating,

I cheated during the SAT, I cheated most of my life and I feel a little bad but not really..

Thanks to a couple real ones for holding it down for me, wouldn’t have made it this far without you.

It’s almost impressive how much this person got away with cheating.

I say almost because I don’t think cheating is a good idea.

I wonder how they’re managing in the real world. Are they cheating at their job somehow too?

Let’s see how Reddit reacted to this story.

This person is bitter about a student who cheated.

Another person asks a good question.

This person doesn’t think it’s possible.

This is a good point.

This person is particularly annoyed about the scholarship.

This isn’t something to be proud of.

And it’s likely to come back to bite them eventually.
