The wheel of life

The end of college.

It is finally the end of your college years. In less than a month, you will be graduating and moving on to another step of your life. You're really excited for summer, but now you have an important choice to make: what program and school will you be attending? You have two choices in front of you. You can either go to UQAM and become a sexologist or you can take a sabbatical and explore Canada.

Choice 1 : You're going to UQAM!

Choice 2 : You're taking a sabbatical!

You're going to UQAM!

You made your choice, UQAM it is! You're really excited about going to university because you always dreamed of it. Sexology is something you recently discovered, and you can't wait to learn more about it. Everything is ready for the beginning of the semester except one small thing. You live in the suburbs, but the university is in downtown Montreal. You can either take the practical exam this summer to get your driver's license, or you can take the bus and the metro to go to school.

Choice 1 : Take your drivers license exam.

Choice 2 : You get an opus card.

You decided you would take a sabbatical even thought your parents are not really happy with your choice.

Take your drivers license exam.

You're taking your exam. It's a rainy day in Joliette and you are stressed. You secretly wished you were in the instructor shoes because he seems calm and confident. "Turn left at the next light." You do as he tells you and turn left. The light was red for you, and you end up crashing right into a car that didn't see you. Theirs only two options for you at this point. You either keep driving or you stay where you are and cry for help.

Choice 1 : You do a hit-and-run.

Choice 2 : You're crying for help.

You get an opus card.

You decided to get an opus card after all because it would be easier for you. You ask your mom to bring you to the closest metro, so you can get one and do the ride from the metro to the school. As you're waiting for the next wagon, you see someone dropping all of their books on the floor. You look at him and wonder if you should help him or let him pick up is stuff alone.

Choice 1 : You help him.

Choice 2 : You ignore him.

You're going to pay for transportation.

Since you don't really feel ready for your driver's licence exam, you decided it would be better for you and other users of the road to pay for the plane and the train throughout the year. You take out your calculator, and you start counting your savings. If you want to make it out of the full year alive, you need an extra $2000. You can either get a summer job or take a risk and go with what you have.

Choice 1 : You apply to different jobs.

Choice 2 : You take the risk.

You're crying for help.

You look at your right and the instructor looks unconscious. You're stuck, and the belt won't let you move. You start crying and screaming until someone comes and breaks the door open. You look up, and you see the nice firefighter talking to you. You don't understand a word he is saying, but he grabs you and lay you down on the stretcher in the ambulance. He closes the door and the ambulance starts moving toward the hospital. Two minutes into the ride, you go into a cardiac arrest and everything go black from this point on.

As you give him his book he thanks you and ask where you were heading. You have a really nice conversation with him and spent the whole ride talking about life. It's now your stop, and you have to say goodbye to the pretty boy with blue eyes.

Choice 1 : You give him your number.

Choice 2 : You say your goodbyes.

You're scared and scream for help. The boy that dropped is books on the floor looks at you and tells you "Next time, be a better person" and walks off. These were the last word you heard before getting hit by the train.

You apply to different jobs.

You applied for different jobs but the only one that called you back was for a bartender position in a bar in downtown Montreal.

You spend all summer there, and you got to accumulate more money than you actually needed. The boss is sad to let you go but promise you to give you back your job whenever you feel like it. You're now ready for your trip, and you even have a job for when you're going to come back in town.
