“My cousin lied to our entire family about getting into a prestigious university. They spent so much money buying him supplies, clothes, and equipment for his dorm room and on the day of enrollment, obviously it all blew up in his face. He continued to deny that he’d lied and insisted that someone had messed up, so they went to his school to get copies of his results which were NOT AT ALL what he’d claimed.”

“Needless to say, he eventually came clean but we have not discussed it since. It’s just this big, strange lie. It’s weird too as our family are not academic, only one of us kids graduated university so definitely not an ounce of competition!”
