somethingeducated: Three years ago I attended a local community college while living with my parents. Or so they thought. In reality, I hit a moment in my life where I realized I didn’t want to go to college anymore after having been forced to leave NC State University due to money falling through.
I sat at home, slept all day, and played on my computer with friends at all hours of the night. When my parents did stay home for the day instead of working I’d go to ‘school’. Which was me finding a shady parking lot to sleep in my car all day. Yes, it was massively uncomfortable since my area gets hot in summer and cold in winter.
One time I even had to walk 3 miles in the snow, cold, and wind because I had to have my mother drop me off at the school. I then hid in the backseat of my car inside a sleeping bag I put in beforehand. I couldn’t stretch my legs at all so it was super uncomfortable, but at least it was warm.
Anyway, I’ve essentially betrayed the trust of my parents who are exceptionally great people. If they found out I did this I don’t know what they’d do. They think I have an associate’s degree in computer science and I don’t have the slightest inkling of the subject. I’m probably gonna die with the secret of my fake degree because I’d rather lie forever than hurt my parents with the truth.
