Rain lashed against my dorm window as I stared blankly at my economics textbook. Each paragraph about supply curves blurred into gray sludge - I'd failed three quizzes straight. My scholarship hung by a thread, and panic tasted like cheap coffee and regret. That's when Marcus burst in, shaking his phone like a trophy. "Bro, I just scored $15 for nailing that calculus quiz!" Skepticism curdled in my gut. Rewards for studying? Sounded like another dopamine trap for desperate students.
