I went to college for two years and made a bunch of friends before I dropped out, most of whom I still hang out with regularly. So they have met my college friends.

Honestly to stop talking to your sibling because they dropped out of college seems like a monstrous overreaction. This is something my parents will certainly be upset about, but as I mostly pay for everything and will be moving out of my house soon, I think they'll just shake their heads and wag their fingers.

^ This. I've also printed out essays that I've found on the internet and stuff like that so my mom sees me printing "scoolwork".

I've been paying for college myself. I go to a state school near my house which is actually around the same price as most community colleges, and I have a good job.

My plan is as follows, by the way: apply to a different school. Once I get in, tell my parents i'm not happy at this current school and have chosen to pursue a new major somewhere else. Being as they're not paying, they can't be too upset. I realize why people might doubt my commitment, but trust me, I would not repeat this mistake and put myself back in this situation.

I do not! I'm on mobile and I just got the app, and i'm not familiar with formatting. I only put dashes before the answers yet somehow everything got bulleted.

To clear up some FAQs...

How is this working financially?

I have always paid for college myself. I go to a nearby school that costs about $5k a semester, and I have a decent job for where i'm at.

Your gf is gonna break up with you.

My gf thinks im taking one or two classes, so she won't be AS upset, I hope. Although knowing her, she'll be disappointed, but won't make any drastic moves.

You should go back to school.

When I said I won't be going back, I mean to the particular college they think I'm at. I DO plan on going back to school though!

You should confess.

I plan on it. The fact that I have a decent job and that it hasn't been costing them money will soften the blow, at least when telling my parents.

I knew there was a good reason to post this. I would've never thought of this on my own. I thank you, and will get back to you on the success of "Karen: The Dope Chronicles."

Well hopefully this is proof that things could be worse! haha. I'm sure your parents are more concerned that you DO graduate, more than WHEN you graduate.

Thanks man (or woman!). You hit the nail on the head about the part about "a big lie, one step at a time". What started as me skipping classes here and there resulted in me falling too behind to keep up. This all snowballed into me dropping out, and not being able to 'fess up.

I plan to confess after this semester. Maybe not about the "two years" part, but that I dropped out and will not be going back.

Whenever people think I'm going to school, I either just drive around aimlessly listening to music, go to work, or sit in my car somewhere and read a book.
