That thread on energy-saving programs made me reflect on a time when my own life felt like it was burning the candle at both ends juggling a packed course load, evening work shifts, and looming assignment deadlines all at once. I was constantly running on empty, trying to hold it all together like a leaky system that needed its own efficiency upgrade. In that haze of fatigue and pressure, the thought I need someone to take my exam for me flitted through my mind less as a desire to cut corners, and more as a raw expression of overwhelm when life has pushed you to the brink without clear pathways forward.
