One week later
This was it, today was my first day of university. Oh my God, I don't think I was even this nervous on my nikkah day. This is so nerve wrecking, I had completely forgot how to do first days. Taking deep breaths in, I prayed Fajr along with extra 2 nafl for shukrana that Allah had helped me get to this point. I, then opened up my wardrobe and truth be told, I had no idea what to wear, should I wear a dress? Or T-shirt with jeans? Or a suit? Well, I didn't have a suit so that was automatically minimized from the options. After changing my clothes probably a million times, I decided to go with the clothes that I got when I went to shop with Henna. I gave my curls some beachy waves and wore my golden hoops with boots and I was ready

I didn't have to worry about aunty, because she visited over the weekend and left last night. I was just gonna pop to the kitchen and make some breakfast for me and baba, give him his medicines and then go off to college. I opened the door of my room to have the house smell as if something heavenly was baking. I walked downstairs to find baba and Henna in the kitchen, with baba standing proudly in front of plate of toasted bread and half fried eggs and Henna in front of a cake that said "Happy first day of university".
Seeing them this excited for me, I was going to burst into tears when both of them hugged me and threatened to eat all the food they had made if I let even a single tear drop. So, I just laughed and the three of us did breakfast together and then after baba had his medicines, Henna drove me to college. She then, stopped at a Starbucks drive thru and treated me with a beautiful pumpkin spice latte

We arrived at the campus and I literally felt like I was going to throw up. Henna guided me to the orientation for the Fashion and Business class. This was it. I could see a few students there, they all looked my age. I went over there and introduced myself. We started talking about where we are from. When I told them that I am from Pakistan, they were all equally shocked because there weren't a lot of international students. It was now, 9am and time for our first class and we made our way to it. I still felt kind of left out, cause most of my classmates were white people and I couldn't really relate to most of the things they would say.
