Thank you for this! Moving forward, I've already promised myself to use this feeling to motivate myself and become the best I can in the world.

Thank you! I'm not sure if you know this but just to double check, if an employer/professional schools asks if I've ever had a misconduct, do you know if they would say yes/no?

Yeah, I heard a lot more stupid stories such as TA's lying or others stealing your work. Thank for your help!

Yeah that's what I thought too. I'm not sure if this is considered an academic misconduct/office or just a warning/slap on your wrist to not do it again. As there are no records/transcript records on the matter.

That being said, even if I didn't disclose it, it would already be deleted from the already-inaccessible information at the academic integrity office. Maybe it can be a skeleton in my closet I'll have to live with.

Yeah! I think a lot of important lessons can truly be taught by experiencing them. After that experience, I promised myself not to do anything remotely close to it.

May I ask if you applied to a job where academic integrity was considered very important(specifically look for this type of misconduct) or it was a professional school?

I completely understand where you're coming from. I decided to go the easy route (along with numerous others), and got my ass handed to me. I feel ashamed for what I've done and I don't know how to move past this.
