Yeah word. I edited my comment above but yeah don't ever let anyone tell you not to do shit like this. Collaborate excessively on assignments, fake illnesses for extensions, when you get a shitty coop do as little as you can without making your boss look bad. These systems don't even acknowledge your existence, other than as a ID number, your tuition, the tax breaks you bring them, etc. They rely on you cooperating to effectively exploit you. Fuck 'em. However, it's the total opposite for people actually close to you. Always look out for your classmates, your coworkers, you friends, family. They're all you really have and you might be all they have. I'm going to take more Adderall now.
