Q:

My girlfriend of four months recently confessed to me that she’s been lying to me about her college experience. Basically, she’d told me she had a B.A. from a very good liberal arts school, but she just confessed to me that even though she did go to that college, she didn’t graduate, she actually dropped out during her second to last semester for mental health reasons.
