You get back from a long day studying a the library, as is your normal routine you throw off your shoes jump on the couch and pull out your laptop. Scrolling through the depths of Netflix and deciding there's nothing new for you to watch you decide to check your emails before getting up to make some food.

'Dear Mr Doe

As I'm sure you're aware we have been subject to a takeover in the last month, following this move I'm afraid to say the company is restructuring and as such we will no longer be accepting any new employees. I understand this will be disappointing to hear, but we have been informed by the university that you will be able to not partake in your placement and may attend you final year instead. As a gesture of goodwill we will offer you a final round interview should you wish to work with us in the future.

Yours Sincerely,

Claire Bodden '

Oh shit, that's your entire years plans out the window. How are you going to study? Who are you going to hang out with now all your friends are on their placements? How are you going to find somewhere to live?
