What dark secret are you hiding from everyone?

My mom knows but I think she's the only person. Basically was 6 or 9 credits short for my major but they were prerequisites to each other so would've taken a couple extra semesters. When that last semester was finishing my mom was asking me about graduation and to make plans to come out for it and I said I didn't wanna go I just wanted to get out of there right away. A few days after that she asked like "you're not graduating, are you?" I broke down and explained everything. I took one pointless class in the summer to just graduate with a general degree, not with my major and never told anybody.

After a couple years of depression/anxiety/shame over it I finally got a job, a really well paying one at that, where like the major is required thanks to clever wording on my resume lol.
