It was Alishka's first year of college, and even worse, first day of college. Not only was she nervous, but she also had a million thoughts running through her head, as her mother would say, she was overthinking. She was thinking, what if she wasn't able to get along with the people in the college? What if she didn't get grades good enough? What if she embarrassed herself? Oh no, that would mean she would have to run away, get plastic surgery, change her identity and go to a complete now place. That seemed like a lot of work, so it was better if she didn't mess up.
Her brothers Rohan and Nishant, who had gone to the same engineering college as hers, had assured her that everything would be fine and she wouldn't have any trouble. She didn't really believe it but she also wanted to believe it. Rohan had been the college's most popular guy when he was studying, not only was he good-looking and cute, but he was also a good-grader and the school's football team captain. While Nishant was the chocolate boy of the college. Every girl that Alishka had come across had confessed to like him. Not a surprise though, seeing how cute he was. Not only that, he also was a top grade student too. So there was a lot of pressure upon Alishka.
Swinging her black bag over her shoulders, Alishka took a deep breath before stepping inside her colleges grounds. It was one of those classic old famous colleges that needed high ranks to get into. Not that she had great marks. It was huge, and she couldn't even count the number of windows that she saw. People were walking here and there, some girls stood under a tree looking at their phones while some danced around the gardens. Her anxiety doubled over.

Alishka found her locker on the side of the first corridor. She put in her books and pen and used about 10 minutes to decorate it with some pictures of Shawn Mendes and some posters of Olivia Rodrigo, her absolute favourites. Alishka had a huge interest in music and acting. She had idolised Shawn Mendes for his singing and Olivia for her acting.
Alishka had been so nervous the previous night that she couldn't help but search how to adjust in a new college and she was actually quite happy about the resuts. This was what was written :
1. Be active on social media and be an Instagram Phenomenon. 2. Make an effort to stay in style. 3. Be confident. 4. Be friends with someone who will never leave your side. 5. Differentiate yourself from others.
She went through the points again. Instagram, eh. She didn't really post much. Alishka was one of those people that only posted when they had something special. Her sister Radhika had gotten her many photoshoots and she had only posted them. Good clothes? Check. Once again, credits to Radhika. Her model sister had bought her uncountable number of dresses that last time she had visited. Alishka didn't know how she payed for those, but whatever. Currently, she was wearing a cute yellow summer dress with her hair in waves. Confidence? Check. Her parents were the shy-est people in the entire household but thank God she wasn't like them. She wouldn't wanna blush and be so shy around her love that she wouldn't even he able to talk. Eh. Ooh, we get there now! Friends! Of course, she needed to find someone, they said that college friends were the best, and she couldn't wait to get some. Difference? She didn't really understand what that line meant. But she was just gonna do the first 4 for now.
