I was reading this discussion and it pulled me back to a night where I seriously thought about using online exam helpers because everything felt like it was closing in tasks stacked, tech failing, time slipping away. It seemed like a relief in the moment, but the thing I kept coming back to was: if I let someone else carry me through, I’d skip what I really needed a moment of clarity, a challenge met, a lesson learned, and a chance to say “I did this myself.”
