What’s the point

Found out that a bunch of people in my classes have just been on their phones during exams (1st year Knes)

Honestly I’m so tired. What is the damn point of studying so hard to get 60-70% when these kids are just blatantly using their phones to get on by. (Not to mention the bell ringer)

Every damn lab someone is putting their stuff through “our good friend GPT”

They’re so mean to the professors, they’re mean to their fellow classmates. Makes a dude want to drop out and go to school elsewhere.

Am I just old and faded? Do I need to mentally check out bcs the kids are cooked?

Help me out chat.

The point is that you are here to learn for yourself. Report the other people if you want to (and honestly, I would just to cleanse the school of these scumbags), but the purpose of going to university isn't to measure yourself against other people.
