As I meticulously arranged my hijab, making sure every fold was perfect, I couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. With my phone in hand, I double-checked that I had all the essentials for the adventure ahead. Satisfied, I took a moment to admire myself in the mirror before switching off the air conditioner and lights in my room. With a spring in my step, I hurried over to Januba's room, eager to share the thrilling details of my plans. Let's make this day unforgettable!

I'm super excited! Hanging out with friends always brings a different kind of thrill. Right now, I'm heading to Alvina's place, and then we'll check out a newly opened restaurant at the end of our street. It's my treat, celebrating my engagement and making up for not telling her earlier. Gotta hurry and convince her to join me for this food adventure!

After we finished our undergraduate studies, we both landed jobs at a decent company. The company's schedule and my university classes aligned perfectly because it's a newly opened company with lighter workload. This gives us plenty of time to complete assignments and still enjoy life to the fullest.

We're really lucky compared to our classmates and friends because we have plenty of free time. The best part is that our work schedule and university timings are pretty great. I work five days a week, and both the university and the company have weekends off. I have three classes per week, and on the other days, students from different courses attend the university. So it's a well-balanced schedule for both of our courses. We're definitely making the most of it.

University life is pretty awesome, right? No more dealing with rough notes and clean notes for the syllabus. Well, in college, it wasn't required either, but our teachers believed in that famous quote: "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I write and I understand." So they made us maintain all those notes, running notes, and write those record books. It might have been a bit tedious, but it helped us really understand the material. Ah, the bitter-sweet memories!

I remember, when I was all hyped up about starting college, I had this image in my mind of what it would be like. But, reality hit me hard when I realized that my college was actually linked with a university and not an independent university itself. It was a bit different from what I had imagined. And let me tell you, the whole relationship dynamic among the students was quite something. It used to give me the creeps because of how intense it could get. I mean, even if someone said a single word to someone of the opposite gender, all hell would break loose! It was like they had these relationship goals that were more like relationship nightmares. It definitely wasn't the college experience I had envisioned. But hey, at least we can look back on it now and laugh, right? That's all I can do now.

Like they used to cling onto each other, and once the problem was resolved, they would label it as possessiveness. But you know what? My fictional character, who would cut off someone's hand if they touched his girl, is way better than their so-called possessive behavior! Well, let's not dwell on that.
