I lie on college applications.

Do you flat out lie or stretch the truth? I am sure stretching the truth is very common, almost assumed. Working as an Admissions Officer is one lousy job: dealing with students, their parents, and the university. And, on top of that, lies.
Peter's got a point though. If you get caught lying outright on a college app, you're dead.
It's just dumb.
Stretch the truth maybe. Polish the references perhaps. But for goodness sake, don't outright lie. Especially if it's easily checked (president of a club/organization, captain of a team, etc).

Honestly, man, if I knew you irl, I would do it myself.

Uh oh, the masses are rising against me.
Haha who are you anonymous that wants to bitch slap me?
I try not to be a jerk in sensitive areas, but mainly in debates I like being argumentative, annddd in cases like this I tell it how I see it.
But sometimes it's just so easy to be an ass online.
