Get used to smoking yourself into a stupor and staying in your underwear all day long because your painfully high opinion of yourself since you graduated makes you pretty much unemployable.

It was difficult thinking exactly where sports science might lead. Best case, you’d get to touch attractive sportsmen. No need to think about that: 100 percent of sports science graduates end up as lesbian gym receptionists—even the men.

So you spent three years doing vocal exercises and improvisation and you can roll your r’s excellently. Surely the silver screen awaits! Or, you could try charity work. I mean, you have a very clear voice and the lines won’t be difficult for you to learn with all that practice.
