A choice to make.

You just finished your last year of college in Natural Sciences. You are not sure if you want to continue your studies at university in Psychology or take a year off to travel.

Choice 1 : University.

Choice 2 : Sabbatical Year.

University.

So now that you have chosen to go at university, you feel that you have made the right choice. You don’t have enough money to go on a one-year trip and by continuing your studies, you will have full-time job sooner and the salary that comes with it. However, you do not know which university to pursue your studies at. You hesitate between Laval University and Montreal University.

Choice 1 : Laval.

Choice 2 : Montreal.

Laval.

You wanted to stay close to your family so you chose to go to Laval University. It’s been a week since school started and you love your program. As your first school project, you have the choice between studying the behaviour of bipolar adolescents in a youth centre or studying the behaviour of young adults who are currently experiencing depression at the hospital.

Choice 1 : studying the behaviour of bipolar adolescents.

Choice 2 : studying the behaviour of young adults experiencing depression

studying the behaviour of bipolar adolescents.

You decided to do your job on bipolar disease. When you arrive at the youth centre to observe the behaviour of certain teenagers, the security guard forbids you to enter. The visits are suspended for the rest of the month but you didn’t know about it. You start crying thinking that you will fail your class. A few days later, you restart your project but you had to study the behaviour of young adults experiencing depression.

Choice 1 : Back to the start

Montreal.

You are satisfied to have chosen this university since there is the option of Neuropsychology which studies different mental illnesses. It’s been a week since you moved into your new apartment with a roommate you do not even know. He seems a little suspicious to you and you decide to go into his room when he is not there to see what he is hiding. Finally, you realize he is growing several marijuana plants in his room. There must be a million plants, you can not even see his bed! (hyperbole) You don’t know if you should call the police or pretend you have never been in this room.

Choice 1 : Call the Police.

Choice 2 : Pretend you have never been in this room.

Call the Police.

You can’t keep this to yourself so you decide to call the police. A few days later the cops come to the apartment and arrest your roommate. They are thanking you because they have been looking for him for a year. He is one of the biggest drug dealers in town. Finally, you made the right decision to report him.

Choice 1 : Back to the start

Pretend you have never been in this room.

You decide not to say anything about your roommate because it’s none of your business. Weeks go by and you get to know each other, he’s super nice. You start to find him very interesting and you even fall in love with him. With time, you manage to get him off drugs. You think you have met the man of your life; luckily you did not call the police!

Choice 1 : Back to the start

Sabbatical Year.

You’ve been working like crazy for two years, therefore this trip is well deserved. It will allow you to relax a little and take time for yourself while living new experiences. However, since you don’t have much money, you will have to work while traveling. You hesitate between going to California and working for a huge film company or going to Spain and teach French to a family of four children where you would be accommodated at the same time.

Choice 1 : California.

Choice 2 : Spain.

California.

You wanted to experience something new so you decided to go to California. You will be able to enjoy the beautiful beaches and at the same time practice your English. After a few days there, you got a job at Universal Pictures. You can’t believe you are going to work where many blockbuster movies have been made like Jurassic World or Fast and Furious. Your job is to create specials effect. There is an actor who caught your eye on the set but you hesitate to go talk to him.

Choice 1 : You give him your cellphone number.

Choice 2 : You do not talk to him.

You give him your cellphone number.

You decided to give him your cell number because you have nothing to lose. You put a little piece of paper with your number in his locker and to your great surprise he contacted you the same night. You’ve been talking all night and you decide to invite her on a date but you’re hesitating between inviting her to Disney California or going to a fancy restaurant.

Choice 1 : Disney California.

Choice 2 : Fancy Restaurant.

Disney California.

You thought it would be less awkward to go to Disney on your first date. You have a lot of fun and go on many rides. In the middle of the afternoon, you do not feel very well, but you decide to go on a last ride to please him. Arriving at the top of the roller coaster, you start vomiting on your companion. It is a real nightmare. He goes home angry and never contacted you again.

Choice 1 : Back to the start

Fancy Restaurant.

You invited him at the restaurant because it will be easier to get to know each other. You were a little stressed to meet him, but it’s going great! You talk about everything and nothing (antithesis) and he even invites you to finish the evening at his house. Finally, you fall in love with him and decide, a few weeks, later to move in with him.

Choice 1 : A choice to make.

You do not talk to him.

You are too embarrassed and decided not to go talk to him. Unfortunately, another employee invited him to dinner. Two weeks later, you learn that they are in a relationship. You have a heavy heart (metaphor) to always see them together and decide to quit your job. Finally, you cannot find another job, so you decide to go back to Quebec and continue your studies.

Choice 1 : Back to the start

Spain.

You always wanted to go to Europe, so you chose to go to Spain. You were able to visit Grenoble, Seville and Barcelona before starting to teach French to children since your contract started only two weeks after your arrival. The children you teach and live with are real pests. They never listen to you and are very arrogant. You are wondering if you should inform their parents of the situation.

Choice 1 : Inform their Parents.

Choice 2 : Do not Inform their Parents.

Inform their Parents.

You get tired of it and decide to tell the parents. You tell them that their children don’t listen to you and are even mean to you. The parents are very upset about the news and don’t want you to live with them anymore. They tell you that their children are real little angels (metaphor) and that the problem is not them, it is you. Since you don’t have enough money to find another place to live for the rest of the year, you decide to go back to Quebec.

Choice 1 : Back to the start

Do not Inform their Parents.

You decide to say nothing with hope that the situation will get better. You have created a timetable for each week containing the hours of grammar, reading, and writing. One day, during the writing period, a child went into the kitchen without you noticing and put a cake in the oven. After a while, you smell a burning smell and decide to go see where it comes from. When you enter the kitchen, you see smoke and flames all over the room. You hurry to go out with the children and call the firemen. When their parents heard the news, they fire you immediately without even paying you. You decide to fly back to Quebec.

Choice 1 : Back to the start

Studying the behaviour of young adults experiencing depression.

You have chosen this topic for your project because you are very interested. In the past, you often went to the hospital to get as much information as possible and asked a number of questions to first responders and nurses. You worked day and night (antithesis) on your project to make it perfect. Finally, your efforts paid off, you got the highest grade!
