Anyone wish they cheated?

Idk I’ve been speaking to people I know who got a first in my stem course at warwick and they would just cheat on coursework (hire someone to do it) and on exams. I am firmly at a 2:1 and am proud of how much I’ve learned but I do know I could’ve secured that first (that I still may get based on my exam results) if I had cheated. I also know that the people who cheated still learnt the material as they’re still smart students but just would cheat to maximise their marks. In school I’d always say that at least I’m actually learning and can apply it better than them, but at a top uni/course this logic just doesn’t apply anymore.
