Faking internships, AI essays, group projects and falling on the bus

Chris Wind Campus Confessional

From job hustle ethics to dramatic friend group betrayals and the dark side of group projects—this episode is full of juicy confessions and relatable chaos.

Welcome back to Campus Confessional, where real students spill real stories, and we talk it all through with humour, honesty, and a judgment-free vibe. In this fourth episode, hosts Kevin, Sasha, and Thalassa dive into a range of confessions that will make you laugh, cringe, and maybe even reflect on your own student life choices.

We kick off with a spicy dilemma: someone faked an internship on their CV… and landed a dream job. The hosts debate where to draw the line between clever hustle and straight-up lying. Their conclusion? Lying might get you in the door, but it’s always a risky game (and no, Kevin does not speak fluent Chinese).

Friendship drama

Next up: friendship drama. A listener finds out their entire friend group has been lying to them. This sparks a candid conversation about the difference between school friends and real friends, how to handle betrayal, and why confronting issues head-on (even if it’s awkward) is key to protecting your peace.

In true Campus Confessional style, the episode takes a hilarious turn with the question: What’s your most embarrassing moment on campus? From wardrobe malfunctions to public transport disasters, nothing is off-limits, including Sasha’s legendary fall on a packed bus.

AI-generated essays

But we don’t stop there. One confession involves submitting an AI-generated essay and being told it’s the best work they’ve ever done. The hosts open up about their own experiences with AI tools like ChatGPT, how it’s changed their approach to writing, and the pros and cons of using tech in student life.

We wrap things up with a genius (but slightly shady) group project hack involving a fake WhatsApp group, and a much-deserved shoutout to Tabata, the talented photographer behind the podcast’s visuals.

This lighter episode is packed with stories that feel all too real: whether you’re faking it ’til you make it, navigating flaky friends, or just trying not to fall flat on your face (literally).
