The morning of my first day of college felt like a turbulent volcano was erupting within me. Emotions swirled and churned, a tempestuous mixture of nervousness, excitement, happiness, and a hint of sadness. My belly felt like a whirlpool, and I feared that at any moment, I might have to rush to the washroom to let it all out, feeling a pang of anxiety about potential loose motion.
Staring at my reflection in the mirror, dressed in the crisp college uniform, I tried to steady my nerves. The mirror seemed to capture the vulnerability in my eyes, revealing my inner turmoil. It was as if my own eyes were mirroring the chaotic emotions I was experiencing. Today marked the beginning of a new chapter in my life, and the weight of it all felt both overwhelming and thrilling.
