0:00.0	What did you do to get expelled from your college?
0:03.0	I went to a private Christian university, and I have a friend who got expelled for supposedly exercising a demon out of someone in the middle of a wide-open courtyard.
0:12.0	I unintentionally got another student expelled. We were critiquing websites we'd built when I noticed that one looked exactly like mine with a few tweaks.
0:26.1	I popped open the source and noticed it was a line-for-line copy of my code with a few changes to the CSS. I boarded up to the professor to protect myself in case he noticed them, though I doubt
0:31.1	I would have been suspected, because mine was more cohesive. The changes he did make didn't
0:35.3	make the site more appealing. Anyway, apparently it was his third time
0:38.6	plagiarizing, after two times you go on trial with the school. If you don't get expelled then,
0:44.0	a third time is the nail in the coffin. I just spent too much time drinking and not going to class.
0:50.8	I was a junior with a 1.6 overall GPA. The university said they didn't need my ilk around
0:56.1	there and would open my spot for someone who had appreciate it. That got my attention. I went to the
1:00.9	dean and talked with him for a couple of hours trying to get back in. He said, no. 19 out of 20 of you guys
1:06.7	go back to doing the same thing. I told him I'd be the exception. He gave me another chance.
1:11.8	From then on out, I was 4.0 every semester. I finally got my GPA up over 2.5 so I could graduate.
1:18.4	I made sure I went back to the dean's office to thank him and tell him that I was the one out of the
1:22.5	20 that made it. Installing Bitcoin miners on all the computers in a video editing lab.
1:28.3	Our professor explicitly warned us not to run Bitcoin miners on our university's high-performance
1:33.5	cluster, as that would get you expelled.
1:35.8	I'll highly suspect someone did exactly that the semester before us.
1:40.5	For being off campus with a member of the opposite gender without proper supervision.
1:45.0	No, seriously.
1:47.0	A guy and a girl in my uni, which is located in a conservative country, were caught making out in the stairway.
1:52.0	Both of them were legally adults.
