The bus ride home from campus was usually a chore for David, filled with dread about the next day’s exams. Today, however, as he read the news, he actually felt a bounce in his step. The university was closing.

David shifted in his seat, a wide grin spreading across his face. He'd never liked college. It was all a means to an end. Now, he could go straight into the family business. He would finally be free of the pressure of academics.

He pulled out his phone and texted his father, a message filled with excitement. A new chapter had begun, a page he was eager to turn.
