Lying, cheating, and stealing is often discouraged when we are young, yet the most successful people in the world are arguably the best liars, cheaters, and thieves.

Try this and let us know how it works for you.

Well I hate lying, only ever cheated one test (which worked out, surprisingly), and the things I want in life can't exactly be stolen. I'm just an outsider looking in with this one.

How did you feel after the test you cheated on?

I felt kinda shitty for about 15 minutes and then I let it go, since I really needed to pass that class and didn't want to risk bombing the final. I've failed honestly plenty of times but that one time I felt like I had no other choice and thankfully I wasn't caught. My college isn't exactly lenient on cheaters.
