Have you ever wondered what would happen to you in the future ?

My name is Moon, I'm an 18 year old ordinary girl. My mom has plumb cheeks, stubby legs and a loud voice. She's very optimistic and has a positive outlook on life. I think I'm a lot like her. I made up my mind to get into the Nutrition department for University so I can expand my mom's catering business. I want more people to enjoy her food. This is my dad. He's just an ordinary logistic manager. But he's also a good husband who loves his wife and a good father who loves his daughter. This is my classmate and coworker, Mira. She loves tea. So after the university entrance exam, we work part time in a tea shop. It was a long peaceful summer like the last 18 years. But the peace was broken on that day.

Moon and Mira eagerly swapped phones, their hearts pounding with anticipation as they navigated to their email apps. With shaky fingers, they opened their inbox, searching for the long-awaited acceptance letters from the university. Moon's eyes widened as she spotted the subject line she had been yearning to see: "Congratulations! You've Been Accepted to University." A joyous grin spread across her face as she passed the phone to Mira.

Mira got accepted into the Tea culture department. I got accepted into my dream university as a freshman in the Nutrition department.

As Moon and her mom approached the university campus, Moon's excitement bubbled over. She couldn't believe she was finally going to see the place where she would spend the next few years of her life. Her mom, while equally excited for her daughter, had a hint of seriousness in her voice.

"Remember, Moon," her mom said, placing a hand on her shoulder as they walked. "This is a big opportunity for you. Make sure to do well academically and take advantage of all the resources the university has to offer."

Moon nodded eagerly, her determination shining in her eyes. "I will, Mom. I promise. I'll work hard and make the most of this experience."

Her mom smiled proudly. "I know you will, sweetheart. Just stay focused, stay organized, and don't forget to have some fun along the way."

They continued their stroll through the campus, taking in the sights and sounds of the bustling university environment. As they explored the academic buildings, dormitories, and student facilities, Moon felt a sense of belonging wash over her.

As Jeremy and Moon strolled along, enjoying the excitement of their shared acceptance to college, Jeremy couldn't help but express his gratitude. "I'm so glad we got accepted together. Best friends in high school and best friends in college. I'm so lucky, it's like winning the lottery," he exclaimed with a grin.

Moon smiled warmly in agreement. "Me too," she replied, feeling grateful for the bond they shared and the journey they were about to embark on together. Just then, a familiar voice called out to Moon, interrupting their conversation. Moon turned to see Sophia approaching them.

"You're... wait let me think.. Sophia, right?" Moon said, trying to recall their interactions from high school.

Sophia nodded, her expression lighting up with recognition. "Yes, that's me," she replied, pleased that Moon remembered her name.

Jeremy chimed in, recalling Sophia's academic achievements. "Oh, you're the quiet girl that had the best grades," he said with a friendly smile.

Sophia chuckled softly, nodding in acknowledgment. "Guilty as charged," she replied modestly.

Moon smiled warmly at Sophia, feeling a sense of camaraderie. "It's good I know you guys, otherwise I'd be alone," Sophia admitted, her tone tinged with gratitude.

"We'll be best friends for the next four years" Moon says

As Moon returned home, she felt a mixture of excitement and nervousness about the upcoming lecture. Heading straight to her room, she opened her closet and began to sift through her clothes, trying to decide what to wear.
