“This just sucks,” Doug said to the college’s counselor, who had certainly been working overtime since the Great Shift swapped the world’s population. Students like Doug, who were now in the bodies of teachers, were some of the toughest cases.
“You keep saying that, but you also keep avoiding saying why you think it sucks,” The counselor retorted.
“Because it’s obvious! I’m ancient! I’m like what? 50? 60 now? I might as well be dead.”
“Many people in their 50s and 60s live very active lives, Doug. You’d be surprised if you went out to some of the bars and clubs by campus.”
“I’m also a freeking chick!”
“And maybe you should embrace your new femininity. At least try it out. In fact, that’s your assignment before we meet next week. Go out and act young while embracing your feminine side. Have a few drinks -- no one would stop you now. You might hate it all, but you won’t know that unless you try it!”
