THE RESULT: the lecturer gave him the marks and me a zero for plagiarism. Careful friends.

Freeloaders do hang around in the library, they do come to university lectures but they just do not understand but sit down there just looking and pretending they understand. When they are finished, they bleed you dry. I made the mistake of helping people in my 1st and 2nd years, but do not do this! Today, now, I have more people who dislike me than ever, but remember when you go to university, nearly 75% of the people would not be your friends, only those small percentage MAY and I stress may be your friend. Just go in there to do business. But keep it distant and be careful that you show too much knowledge to them because they latch onto you like leeches. Hmmm,

Also, not everyone on any given course will get a first class degree, so to network with getting a first in mind, you inevitabely have to ensure you benefit more from a relationship than other students you are working with. I have written a post on this issue: Avoiding Cheaploaders on your Degree Course (an extension of my post on Avoiding Freeloaders On a Degree Course).
