Chapter 2: First Day
The morning sun shone brightly through Maya's window, signaling the start of her first day at Lucknow University. Excitement and a touch of nerves had her wide awake early. She quickly got ready, choosing an outfit that made her feel confident.
As she stepped out of her dorm, she bumped into Aarav, who greeted her with a warm smile. "Good morning, Maya! Ready for your first day?"
"Good morning, Aarav! Yes, I'm excited and a bit nervous," Maya admitted.
"Don't worry, you'll do great. The orientation session starts in about half an hour. I'll walk with you," Aarav offered.
Together, they walked to the main auditorium, where new students were gathering for the orientation session. The hall buzzed with energy and anticipation. Maya found a seat and listened intently as the university staff welcomed them and shared important information about campus life, academic expectations, and extracurricular activities.
After the orientation, Maya explored the campus further, visiting the library, the student union, and various academic buildings. Along the way, she met fellow students, many of whom were also experiencing the same mix of excitement and anxiety.
By lunchtime, Maya had made a few new friends, including Priya, a cheerful and enthusiastic girl who shared her major, and Rohan, a laid-back guy with a knack for storytelling. They decided to have lunch together at the campus cafeteria, sharing their backgrounds and aspirations.4
The rest of the day was filled with introductory classes and meetings with professors. Maya felt a sense of accomplishment as she navigated her new environment and started to build connections with her peers.
As the sun set, Maya returned to her dorm, exhausted but exhilarated. She reflected on her first day and felt a renewed sense of confidence. This was just the beginning of her journey at Lucknow University, and she was ready to embrace every moment.
