Despite the enticing offers from these clubs, my heart was set on joining the Super Blue Whale (SBW) swimming team.

Balancing my swimming career with my studies in the Department of Medicine was a formidable challenge. The demanding coursework required sharp focus and dedication, but I managed to excel, earning high praise from my professors. My fashion sense, elevated by my job at the store, set me apart on campus.
I wore stylish outfits and had stunningly gorgeous hairstyles, thanks to years of observing Zanille. Despite my ordinary appearance, I was the belle of not only my department but the entire university. My sharp intellect added to my growing reputation.
I was fortunate to have two close friends who made my university experience even more memorable. Verona and Nathaniel were the kind of friends everyone dreams of having—loyal, supportive, and always up for an adventure.
Verona was a vibrant personality from the Mechanical Engineering department. Her love for food was legendary, earning her the affectionate nickname "Queen Foodie." She had an insatiable curiosity for different cuisines and could often be found exploring new restaurants or experimenting with recipes.
Her enthusiasm for food was infectious, and she had a knack for turning even the simplest meal into a culinary experience. Despite her busy schedule, Verona always made time for her friends, and her warmth and generosity made her the heart of our group.
In addition, Verona came from a well-off family deeply rooted in the worlds of art and business. Her home was a blend of creativity and commerce, with walls adorned with exquisite paintings and sculptures, and conversations often revolving around the latest business ventures.
Verona's elder brother, whose name was Damien,was a towering figure in the business world. Known for his sharp intelligence and unparalleled expertise, he was both famous and feared. His gentle gorgeousness and masculine charm made him a magnet for admiration, attracting ladies from all walks of life, including famous actresses, musicians, socialites, and female heads of various organizations. Despite his high-profile status, Damien remained humble and deeply protective of his family.
Verona, however, preferred to keep her family's status under wraps. She valued her privacy and didn't want the attention that her brother's fame could bring. Only Nathaniel and I knew about her illustrious background and the enigmatic brother who we nicknamed Charms. This secret only strengthened our bond, as we respected her desire for a normal university experience.
Our friendship was a perfect blend of diverse backgrounds and shared aspirations
Nathaniel, on the other hand, was a bit of an enigma. From the Architectural department, he was incredibly intelligent, with a mind that could solve complex problems with ease. However, his unassuming appearance often led people to underestimate him.
Nathaniel had a quiet confidence and a dry sense of humor that revealed itself once you got to know him. He was the kind of person who could make you laugh with a single well-timed comment. His loyalty and support were unwavering, and he had a way of making everyone around him feel valued and understood.
Nathaniel's background was more similar to mine. His family was financially stable, with his father working in the government's pipeline company. This job provided a comfortable life, but it was Nathaniel's intelligence and ambition that truly set him apart. Despite his somewhat unassuming appearance, he possessed a sharp mind and a quiet confidence that made him a standout in the Architectural department.
We met during a campus event—a mixer for new students. Verona's infectious laughter drew me to her, and Nathaniel's witty remarks kept me engaged. We quickly discovered our shared interests and ambitions, and our friendship blossomed from there.
Our bond was strengthened by our weekend outings, where we explored museums, savored different cuisines, and joined various clubs like horse riding, archery, and skating. These activities not only enriched our university experience but also brought us closer together.
Verona's adventurous spirit and Nathaniel's steady presence were the perfect balance to my own determined nature. Together, we navigated the challenges of university life, supporting each other through thick and thin. Our friendship was a source of joy and strength, making every moment at university unforgettable.
