Summer has just finished and now I'm off to college. It's honestly crazy on how fast high school flew by, I didn't even get a chance to spend half of my high school years in school because of the pandemic but I'm sadly not complaining much, my social anxiety took a well break. But since this is my first year of college I have to do school face to face. For my career I've decided I wanted to become a dietician and do my studying in George brown college, in downtown Toronto. Never in my life have I ever pictured or dreamed of myself becoming a dietician but somehow along the way it came to me and I suddenly got interested. I made sure that this wasn't just a thought or a career people told me I should take because of different reasons but I thought deeply about what I wanted and made sure I cared and loved what I had choose.
Now today was the day of my first taste of college life. It was absolutely terrifying thinking about the new environment and the many people that are gonna be there but I mean it's always like that on our first days, just like the start of high school. I made sure I woke up extra earlier on my first day giving myself a good 2 hours to get ready, even through I just needed less than that. I put on my black tank top with my light brown oversized zip up hoodie and dark blue jeans, along with my white sneakers. I packed my bag and made sure I ate breakfast before heading out so my stomach wouldn't grumble during class. Then I headed out of my apartment and drove my way to downtown. I parked my car downstairs in the school's parking and headed my way to the second floor for my nutrition science class. It was about 8:45am and there was only about 7 people waiting outside. When we got in I made sure to sit in the middle section so I wasn't to close but also not too far from the teacher. Today we didn't have class for too long since it was the first day but I still got a new assignment handed to me.
The day passed by quite fast since classes were shorter but lots of work has already been given. After all my classes were done I headed my way outside and sat down on a bench. I started to search on yelp for any good food places near by cuz I was starving and I know downtown has many good food choices. Then there was this tall, fair skin, curly hair guy who sat beside me, he was quite cute actually. After a couple seconds I decided to have some courage and ask the guy if he knew any good food places around.
"Hi....sorry I have a quick question umm...do you know any good food place around here by any chance, I'm not really familiar with the place?" - Me
"Yah no worries, is there a type of food you are craving or want to try?" - Him
"Anything honestly, as long as it fills me up." I nervously laugh - Me
"Oh ok, umm there's a Korea street food called Go Cup and it's really good, do you think you want something like that?" - Him
"Oh my gosh yessss I always wanted to try Korean food, where is that?" - Me
"Aww I'm glad your interested, I was nervous you would say no but I could actually bring you there it's not that far from here." - Him
"Yah I'm not too much of a picky eater but are you sure you want to go with me, it's honestly fine I don't want to worry you." - Me
"Honestly it's ok I am not in a rush or have anything important happening later so I'm all free." he says with a smile on his face - Him
"Well thank you for sparing your time. I'm Jackielyn by the way." I said putting my hand out - Jackielyn
"No worries I'm Daeshim but you can just call me Dae." he says shaking my hand - Dae
"That's a unique name, I like it." - Jackielyn
"Thank you." Dae says smiling looking away - Dae
