Navigating the Consequences of Lying on My Job Application

I recently found myself in a tough situation regarding a job interview. I applied for a position and, in a moment of desperation, I lied on my resume about being enrolled in a college program. The truth is, I was enrolled in 2022 but dropped out after the first semester. Now, as the interview approaches, I'm feeling anxious about the implications of my lie. I believe I have enough experience and interest to perform well in the job, but I'm worried that if I get hired, I might be expected to follow through with the education I claimed to be pursuing. The company thinks I won't graduate until next spring, which gives me some time, but I can't afford to go back to school. I'm torn between canceling the interview or going and hoping I don't get caught. I know I should have been honest, and I regret my decision to lie. I'm currently unemployed and feeling the pressure, which led me to make this choice. It's a tough spot to be in, and I'm not proud of it.
