...use an essay writing service like this https://writemyessayonline.com/? Have you?
A friend of mine is a freelance writer and says that this is a huge industry, although it's not an area he's worked in, and I'm curious about why you'd use it. I read an article about it that said it's the top level students who are using it as they're under more pressure. If this is the case, does it say more about the education system than the actual students who use something like this?

Sometimes I felt like I was this service when my ex was getting her Master's. She said afterwards I should get half her degree.

To her vast credit, she got her second (far less bullshit) one without my help, except for the part where I took a math class for her.

She got an A.


On the other hand, I never graduated college.

Ah, subego, that would really annoy the hell out of me. It does make me wonder how often this happens 'unofficially' when friends/partners help etc.

I would consider this cheating.

Taking the class? No question.

In theory, the class was going to get dropped as a requirement, which made me willing to do it. Pretty sure that turned out to be a load.

She's batshit though, so she's otherwise ideally suited for her job as a clinical psychologist.

Most psychologists are mind fu*ks. That's why they're psychologists!
