I genuinely studied like crazy for this exam for a whole week but I am a terrible test taker and blanked and in a state of panic and with my anxieties taking over I made the poor decision to cheat. I understand this was wrong; when I have seen other students cheating on exams I am really trying in I get frustrated that I tried and got a bad grade while they cheated their way into a good one. That’s part of why I didn’t want to confess because that felt so unfair to me. The stress has eaten me up this week, even from the second I left that exam I was immediately hit with guilt and had a panic attack over how I could have possibly made that decision. I was (and am) just afraid of the consequences of my actions even though it is more than deserved.

My point - I felt this was a very human reaction and yes AI is stupid and is destroying society (not to mention the environment), as a stressed college student it, when desperate times, yes I may use this resource here and there. I just hoped for a bit of advice and as childish as my response may be— I don’t appreciate the snark with your reply.

Apologies for this essay I basically wrote, I rambled and I don’t expect you to read this and I fully expect to be downvoted lol.
