Does This Count As Cheating?

DAMN...okay, so I wrote this HELLA long post...kinda venting but not really...I deleted it, cuz it was just the same old nonsense...and y'all don't deserve that. I had a dope post lined up and I'm sticking to that. To sum it all up...life is about choices. Specifically, picking and choosing who you want to surround yourself with. Picking and choosing which people you want to invest your time, effort and emotions in. Picking and choosing which friendships are worth fighting for and prolonging...and picking and choosing which people simply aren't good or meant for you...for whatever reason. There are many times where I'll text a friend to chill and won't get a reply, or argument will happen and I kinda leave it alone...it's all about choices. So because of that, there are a lot of people who I may not be close to anymore...it's just how the game works. If I saw them in the street, it would be all love, we'd talk, catch up...but I wouldn't make a conscious effort to message them and ask them to chill...choices. Choosing to invest in particular people and groups of people over others...we all do it.

On to today's post...and I promise it's a good one, hopefully. So a LONG while ago...when I got my g1...I bought the book and I was like DANG, this is a lot of reading. My boy ended up sending me a link to this site with an online quiz and he's like these are the questions they use on the g1, he's like I just did the quiz over and over until I memorized all the answers. So day and night, I kept doig the quiz until I got perfect every time...come the real test, the questions were exactly the same, just a little different wording. So fast forward to present day now. Last year I took this course called 'the psychology of women'. I bought the text book used from this girl and she's like oh, do you want the test bank for an extra $5, I'm like what's that. She's like it's pretty much a list of questions with the answers and the prof chooses it and makes the exam...I'm like what...so you pretty much have the exam on you. She's like yeah...I'm like yeah right, I bought it anyways cuz I figured it would be a good study tool to quiz myself. So I went to class, did the reading and such like normal and here and there I would go over the test bank. Come exam time...I'm like yo, wait...why do these questions AND answers look so familiar...that's when I realized that the questions and answers on the exam were EXACTLY the same ones as they were on the test bank. I ended up getting like an 80 something on the exam. I still wasn't convinced tho, I was like hmm...maybe it's just coincidence, so I still went to class like normal, did A BIT of readings...and focused more on just rereading and memorizing the test bank to see if it would really work. Come second exam...it was EXACTLY the same once again. BRUH....after that exam, I stopped going to class, I stopped doing readings...I just reread the test bank for each chapter OVER AND OVER AND OVER again. Keep in mind, each exam covered like 4 chapters and each chapter on the test bank had like 100 questions and the exam only had like 100 questions...so the amount of EXCESS information/knowledge I was taking in was ridiculous. But it got to a point where on the exam, I DIDN'T EVEN READ THE QUESTIONS...I would recognize all the answers and just circle the right one LOOOOL. I ended up getting like a 90 something on the course...man, it was actually hilarious The course is still running and the girl to this day is still selling that textbook and test bank along with stuff for other courses cuz she has it all on PDF files. MAN...you don't understand the amount of confidence and happiness I felt walking INTO and OUT OF the exams...I borderline looked forward to the exams cuz I would finish it in like half an hour and the prof would look at me like dang bruh....LOOOL

Oh btw, to answer the question cuz I know people are gonna go off...no, it's not cheating cuz the prof apparently hands these things out, cuz I asked her how she got it and she was like yeah the prof gave it to me...or something like that. It definitely felt like cheating at certain points...like after I stopped going to class and stopped doing the readings LOL. But seeing my GPA go back up to what I was striving for eased my mind.
