<human>: Hey reddit, big fuck up here on my part. 

Two weeks ago I was emailed saying that my student account at my university was being processed for a refund. Cool, right? Money that's coming back to me. I was eventually approved and the school sent me a check for $600, which I recklessly and childishly spent half right away and the rest over the next week having a good time.

What I bought was nothing crazy. Definitely nothing worth what I spent but you know..I'm a college student who got a hold of $600. I was king in my head. Bought drinks all on me, bought food, beach trip, went wild on gas, even spent $150 on personal products cause I thought i could invest the money in improving myself. Hah. 

Well I received a second email yesterday explaining that I was incorrectly given a refund. My school is in the process of a merge and apparently the system that dealt with refunds was incorrectly calculating my account balance to amount paid. 

So now I'm left with $20 and a $600 dollar payment due. 

I've narrowed it down to two choices. Be straight with my parents, admit to my immature fuck up and request they sell all of my items needed to pay of the money OR request an emergency school loan and get my ass a job, work off what I owe and suck it up. The second one is ideal because I get to avoid being a fuck up in my parent's eyes.

Not even sure I can get a loan though. I've never been on great footing with my parents either so I may also be kicked out for this situation, and understandably so. 

Any words of advice before I go crazy?

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: received a refund for $600 from my school. Was a mistake, I now owe $600 after I spent all of the refund check. Do I fess up or get a loan and try keeping it from my parents?
