My idea was someone who failed his classes and then spent several years as a normal, low-ranking soldier in the military, and grew cynical over time. I can rework it to be a traditional student if that doesn't work.

Dude, my character's gonna be a cynic too! Maybe they can have long-winded conversations about how much people suck! ^_^
