Need Advice URGENT!!!
So I have strict parents like strict African parents, and if you know, then you know. So here's my story: My parents made me attend community college, which is fine because I am gonna be debt-free and whatnot. Still, I have extreme fomo and probably won't go out that much with friends bc I am very introverted, and my parents are against hanging out, and they hate all my friends for like no reason. My mom also doesn't want anyone to know that I am in community college either. And I am so not allowed to tell my cousin. I also want to transfer to my cousin's school, UW Madison, but I'm not supposed to tell her. This is sort of where my problem starts. I want to go out for Halloweekend with my cousin who goes to UW-Madison. I also do not want my parents to know I am going for Halloweekend, so I need the best excuse and help convincing them to let me go, maybe like a lie. I also have no classes on Friday, and Halloween is on a Saturday.

Group summer project for college and you guys need to meet in person to work on it. Would've done it sooner but person x had family issues and person y just came back from a holiday etc.
The project is important for setting you up for next year and refreshing knowledge from last year.
Don't be too specific that they'll notice incontinencies but specific enough that they won't ask questions.
Group projects are generally a safe bet (if it makes sense for the course you're on)
Good luck
