Maybe you should have a talk with a college counselor, about the underlying issue here: you really don't want to be responsible. You didn't want to be responsible for your grades, so you lied to your parents. You didn't want to be responsible for lying, so you look for a way out of telling your parents the truth. You want to take your education a certain way: slow and "good enough" but don't want to be responsible for defending that choice. Or for paying for you education if you do things your way.
You're at a strange, important point in your life. You're independent enough to make some of your own choices, but you're still dependent on your parents for support, and struggling against their expectations and demands. Until you're willing to step up and be responsible for your own actions, you're always going to be struggling to either escape something or repair something. I highly recommend acknowledging and dealing with this tendency of yours before it becomes the pattern of your life.
