"Those who knew Bert, however, didn't know what he would do after college. It was unclear. They thought he had prospects - but prospects in what, no one could say. It was a mystery, a great big mystery, to everyone, including Bert himself. Sometimes late at night, over pizza, he would talk about it..."I'd love to be a stand-up comic, get drunk and hook up with prostitutes every night," he would say. ..."I'd love to be a movie star. That'd be great. But I lost the looks awhile ago. They slipped right through my hands like sand in an hourglass." He paused for a time. "You know what's funny...? I just can't picture me doing anything. I don't know if there's anything I can do." " —Erik Hedegaard, The UndergraduateIt Takes All Kinds: The Undergraduate
