I get it, but I hate it. It's not in my nature to lie like that. I can "lie" for the sake of humor or something, like using misdirection or "acting," but when it's an honest situation I can't help but be honest.

Not that I have opportunities tossed my way that often lol

I hate it but it's how these things go. You only had a 3 week internship at school because that's what your school does at the end of your semester as a requirement for graduating? That's fine, on your resume that becomes "Spring 2024", people don't need to know it was only 3 weeks, they can think it was 3 months unless they explicitly ask you how long it was which they usually don't. It helped me land my first dev job years ago, it sucks but it works.
