You wouldn't believe how much bs I put in my resume about my senior poject. By the time I was done, not only could the software that I wrote schedule employees based around performance evaluations, but it would power a space station, bring peace to the middle east and generate top 10 hits in rolling stones magazine.
I really have no problems with the skills and things I am able to say I did. My current employer thinks I am a rockstar, and I have tons of stuff I can lay out that displays that.

It's the "guy in his mid-30s coming into our office with 3 years of work experience listed on his resume" negative vibe that I am trying to avoid.
