One of the most creative reasons I ever came up with to skip college was saying I was auditioning for a role in a local theater production. I told my professor that I needed to prepare for the character’s backstory, which required a day of “method acting” to really get into the mindset. I then added a twist about how the role was based on a historical figure, so I needed to research at a museum. The professor seemed impressed by my commitment—a bit too impressed, actually! It felt like a win-win until I had to share my “audition” experience with classmates later, and the story started to unravel. Lesson learned: creativity can be a double-edged sword! What about you?
