...better idea might be to make the last semester a different sort of time altogether. Instead of halfheartedly attending courses while suffering from the symptoms of PTSD (Post-Thesis Stress Disorder), seniors could make better use of their last semester to reap the opportunities of the course catalog without the narrowing burden of requirements. By carving out the spring as a time for seniors to carry out an independent project, or finish their theses, or participate in seminars or pursue reading projects with professors, the final semester would become a culmination of a four-year education, a natural extension...

...somehow the description she gives of the cheater seems to hit particularly close to home. Many of us were brought up to believe that we were special. At Harvard, this sensibility infuses much of what we do and causes many of us to think that our hard work should reap substantial rewards. When cheaters among us whisper about their indiscretions, their stories usually fit within this framework...
