oh my god it's windy and sunny

ugh

another assignment, another instance of academic misconduct.

seriously, kids, listen when your instructors try and tell you how Google works. it doesn’t matter if you think you’re being sneaky and going three, four, ten, or even fifty pages of results deep to pull your copy. i know you think that your instructor isn’t going to bother going that many pages deep to prove you were cheating. i mean, if it worked that way, you’d be right - shit, no instructor has that kind of time. but…

THAT IS NOT HOW THIS WORKS.

your instructor is NOT going to magically use the same set of search terms you used to get you some hot-and-ready Google results. instead, he or she is going to take all of three seconds to copy that incriminating-looking sentence or paragraph from your essay and paste it into a search box and OH WAIT WHAT HEY LOOK THAT’S A PERFECT MATCH RIGHT THERE ON TOP PAGE ONE WHO KNEW
