In college I made a lot of new friends.  Sure, some of them just ended up being acquaintances, but I did end up with a number of close friends.  Quite often we would work on assignments together, study together, and socialize together.

It was from these people I learned many important lessons about life.  We were all from different backgrounds and I was able to learn about their life experiences.  It was an eye opening experience, as I had never really been many places in my life.

But one of the greatest lessons I learned was that of hard work.  You see, Brad decided that instead of writing his own essays for his classes, he would buy essays instead.  Now, in some respects, that would be a really cool idea, but it made me think that you could just buy a degree from a fake school, right?

Back to topic.  I watched Brad search for a custom research paper for his engineering class.  I also watched him buy a custom term paper for his psychology class.  Things were really going good for him until he was caught on an English essay.

And that was the end of his college career.  He was expelled.

I learned a valuable lesson that day - if you take a shortcut, it will catch up to you.  Needless to say, all the papers I wrote in college were my own  and I make sure that I never cut corners.
