Brett went to Pepper Hill while you went to Raft, so in the end the relationship didn't last. You stay friends – which is good since he was the first person you ever slept with and it'd suck to have a bad story about that – and you meet other people. Word gets around that you have a criminal record, a night in the cells for vandalism (you just couldn't outrun Cumberland's guards easy), so you get a rep for being 'cool'. That's never happened before.
Cool people who are sarcastic get told they should try open-mike night. You do pretty well.
Locally, you start getting paid for stand-up. You still get your degree, but you've got your new passion. People will pay you to be rude.
While you only vaguely watched The Daily Show, you damn well lie you love it when, years later, they offer you the job of new host.
AND SO ON
