To do or not to do?

Has anyone ever read Hamlet? There is a famous line from Hamlet: To be or not to be. That is how I got the title for my entry this time. 
I learnt Hamlet during my pre-u. It is a pretty interesting story. I like it. But, I'm not going to talk about Hamlet. I just want to write how confused I am right now. 
I admit that I'm not really clever. I am a lazy girl. Sometimes, I feel so lazy to do my assignments. But, I still try my best to finish my assignments in the given time. Whatever I'm doing I'm trying to do my best. Even though I have the answer to an assignment from my friends, I would try my best to understand his answer. Even if I'm copying his answer, I would make sure that I'm not completely copying his answer. I would refer to my notes to make sure that I know what he's doing. And, if I don't agree with his answer, I will just stick with my answer and do not copy his answer. We're not even sure if his answer is correct even though he said that he got the answer from a reliable source. 
However, I admit that as a student, sometimes, I really want to get a high mark. But, sometimes, what I got is not like I want. And, during this time, my friend will asked me to copy his assignment because he is sure that his answer is right. Perhaps it is right but for me it is about honesty. He got the answer from a senior and most of the answer is correct. The senior really get a high mark. It's true that I get high mark if I copy his answer but is it really good for me? It is not right. I'm not putting any effort there. Perhaps just a little bit of effort. But it is not a good way to learn. 
Okay, from now on, I will try my best to do any assignments by my own. Yesterday, I finished an assignment. And, then I met my friend. He asked me if I have finished the assignment and I told him I did. He wanted to see my answer and I let him. His friend came and said that he already finish the assignment. And, then my friend told me that he had an answer for the question. I told him that I've finished the assignment so I don't want his answer. He said that I can check my answer but the way he told me is like he is pretty sure that my answer is wrong. Whatever, I'm not going to copy him this time. It is an assignment that I do by my own and I'm confident with my answer. Even if it is wrong, I'm not going to regret anything because I can learn from the mistake I make.
