WaiT I just remembered. I dropped out of university this year because of drugs + struggling with finding my own identity. I reapplied for the same course at a different university a few months later and I spoke to the head of the course over the phone. He asked me why I dropped out of the course and I decided to not talk about the drugs at all and I also said that I was struggling with coming out (that was actually true). To sugar coat it, I said that I came out to my family a few months ago and that they've been so loving and supportive. He really empathised with me and he accepted me into the course. I could tell he was a hunty from his voice and so I knew I could play that card and get sympathy for it.
Truth is that I haven't come out yet and my family would probably disown me if I did.
