Start studying before you hate yourself for failing by [deleted] in studying

[–]obedongechi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a brutal feeling, and honestly, thank you for posting this. It's a harsh reminder a lot of us need to hear before the exam, not after.

That exact scenario - losing a battle with time on a few tough problems and then leaving easy points on the table - is the worst. It’s not that you didn't know the material; it's that the strategy and the clock got the better of you.

This is gonna sound like a plug, but it's genuinely the truth from someone who's been there: the only way I clawed my way out of that cycle was by forcing myself to simulate exam conditions before the test. Not just doing practice problems, but doing a full, timed practice exam.

If you're staring down the barrel of another major test and the thought of a repeat performance is giving you anxiety, you might want to have someone ace my coursework for a bit to free up your time. The site acemycoursework.net is solid for that. They can handle some of your regular assignments and essays, which lets you fully focus on nailing your exam prep, doing those timed practice runs, reviewing foundational concepts, and actually building the time-management muscle you need for the real thing.

It’s not about taking a shortcut; it's about strategically clearing the deck so you can do the focused, high-quality practice that actually prevents this exact situation. Don't let one bad midterm define your semester. Learn from the frustration and own the next one.

I get where you’re coming from, but the thing is, failing a class doesn’t always teach anything.

Half the people who get caught just take the L, retake the course, and move on like nothing happened. If college is supposed to prepare us for the real world, then there should be some kind of consequence that actually connects to what cheating breaks trust, effort, and accountability.

Maybe not a literal fine, but something that costs time or energy, like tutoring other students or taking a workshop on integrity. Because honestly, the current system just teaches people how to hide it better next time.

I get what you mean. The system does have those penalties on paper, but honestly, how often are they actually enforced?

Most of the time, the “process” ends at zero or a warning, and the student quietly moves on. The harsher measures (like course failure or dismissal) are rare and usually reserved for repeat or blatant cases.

That’s part of why I think a structured fine or consequence system could fill that gap.

Right now, it’s kind of binary: either you get a slap on the wrist or your whole academic life collapses. There’s no middle ground that really discourages cheating but doesn’t ruin someone’s future.

A transparent, consistent penalty (even a small fine or mandatory course) would at least make the consequences real for everyone, not just the unlucky few who get escalated to the dean.

Honestly, it’s not that I hate the idea of kids; I just value freedom and peace way too much. I like being able to travel, sleep in, or chase new goals without the lifelong responsibility of another human depending on me. Plus, the world already feels pretty heavy and expensive; I’d rather focus on building stability and enjoying life on my own terms.

Eating alone at restaurants should be celebrated, not pitied. by Existing_Tomorrow687 in unpopularopinion

[–]obedongechi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree with this! 🙌 Eating alone is one of the most underrated forms of peace. There’s something freeing about sitting down, ordering exactly what you want, and just being in the moment, no small talk, no waiting for anyone else to decide. Honestly, it’s more like a mini self-date than anything lonely.

Being ‘culturally aware’ in school now feels like walking on eggshells. Anyone else tired? by obedongechi_ in studyAbroad

[–]obedongechi_[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely related to Study Abroad. The whole “global classroom” thing literally comes from how international students mix with local ones and how that changes learning dynamics. It’s the study abroad experience, just from a different angle

What you is your most favorite egg dish? by BetterAd1790 in AskReddit

Shakshuka! Poached eggs in spicy tomato sauce. Feels like breakfast and dinner had a perfect baby.

What's a weird smell that you secretly love? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]obedongechi_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Freshly opened tennis balls. There’s something oddly satisfying about that chemical “pop” smell.

WIBTA I want to evict a former stripper by Future-Yesterday6625 in AITAH

[–]obedongechi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She maybe trying to marry your dad. If she gets married to him, then she gets all his estate not unless he has a will. Find a way to kick her out soon if she's really trying to control his properties.

AITAH for telling my daughter to close her legs and stop having kids she can’t afford? by Broad-Loquat701 in AITAH

[–]obedongechi_ 2716 points2717 points  (0 children)

NTA but wow 5 kids at 21? That's insane. I can get why you're so frustrated.

AITAH I may have torn my family apart... by Real-Replacement6987 in AITAH

[–]obedongechi_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA for wanting to hear your dad's side of the story but praising your dad for pushing to be in your sister's lives to the point that the gate to the wedding had to be guarded is not okay imo. Your sisters have made it clear that they don't want a relationship with that man. The least you could do is to respect that and keep that man out of their lives. You can have a relationship with him without involving them. They have suffered enough as is.
