My secret was pretty simple. I wanted to convey that I was not going to pay my bill for the school. They sent me the bill and it immediately became buried under papers on my desk. I chose the phrasing 'Why do they bill me thinking I'm going to pay??' to create humor. The reader would assume that perhaps I am irresponsible with money or contemptuous of the Financial Services of South Carolina, from which the bill arrived.
However, the reason that I am not going to pay is not that I hate USC, it's because I have no money. The reason I find it absurd for me to pay a bill is because my parents are the one's paying for all things college. It is well documented that college students are poorer than dirt, so why bill them?. They should be billing our parents. I am not going to pay because I have no way of doing so. It's that simple.

this is like a lot of secrets on postsecret because people will send in things that they want to get rid of, or forget about, so since you wrote your secret on the actual bill (and if you actually sent it in) your statement, to me, seems a lot more meaningful than if you would've just drawn a picture or something.
