I Need To Tell My Mom The Truth... Any Ideas??

I am a 23 year old Hispanic male "student" who dropped out of community college without my mom knowing since 2023 and I do not wanna lie anymore...

(Major; Graphic Design, AAS)

I joined a community college at around 2022 and did not have a job at the time, I applied a FAFSA to hope for them to take care a bunch of the stuff for my classes and others. I was hoping that I can stay for a while hoping that I might finding a job during the beginning school year but I was not ready to see how much I owe later on. so around May 2023 I did manage to land myself a job in fast food but when I joined the place, I was the only guy they kept messaging me during the days where I do have classes and I legit skipped classes to join work later as I missed out hanging out with my friends... At the early days in September 2023 I quietly dropped out of community college to stay working at my job in hoping that I make enough money to pay the bills skipping everything and leaving my friends behind without telling them where I have been... even not telling my mom about to... I would make up a bunch of lies to mostly anybody who would ask "how's college?" and I would make-up dumb lies that sounds believable enough to take it... I feel like such an idiot and I cannot continue any longer ... I missed my friends and I hated my job... I felt like I could've done something but I feel like I am running out of time.. I really do not know what to do and I know I must tell my mom the truth.... I understand she is going to be hellishly mad at me but I am owning my own fault of my stupidity and regrets.. What do any of you think I should next after I tell her the truth??

(ps, I also paid 200 dollars for the debt collectors FOR the community college too...)
