"Who is the one that said money can't bring you happiness? Happiness is determined by your way of life. Poor salary leads to money problems, which then leads to stress and hardship, and then finally, depression. Of course money brings you happiness." Samuel often found himself distancing away into a mind of his own, questioning the many questions psychology has to offer.*

"What if there was nothing?" Samuel speculated. "What if we don't exist? What-" Samuel awakened back to reality when Professor Mitch stood over him, frustrated, and rightly so. "Forty minutes, Samuel, and then you can get back to day dreaming of whatever girl you were thinking about...again." A few people in the back row sniggered. "In the meantime, concentrate, open your book to page 344, and read." Samuel unwillingly agreed. Clearly, studying a degree in Psychology wasn't enough deep thinking for Samuel. Not paying attention wasn't doing any favors for him, consequently, leading him to fail the majority of his other classes.

This is what I have so far.*

Its about an average, middle-class student, named Samuel, who believes money is all you need to achieve happiness. On his 21st birthday, he goes out clubbing, unfortunately at the wrong time, and ultimately ends up in hospital from a stab wound. He further questions his life and if he really is happy with how he is living and who he is. Does he like what he sees in the mirror? Does he really love his girlfriend, or is he just kidding himself? Who will he become after his realization? These are the questions that will be answered.*

What do you think? On a scale of 1-10 (1 being the worst..)

Sorry about spelling/grammar errors. Pretty much just wrote this in 10-15 minutes, as the plot idea just came to me.
