"congratulations students, may all of you reach your goal destinations" we clapped our hands as the emcee said those words and with that we all threw our caps in the air and congratulated each other.
"Congrats girls! we did it goodluck sa college" Janice said as she hugged me and Claire."Don't forget us Raya" she added
I will be studying medicine in China, my parents were hesitant at first but eventually lets me apply. I got into a prestigious university which made me wonder how did I got in but anyways, what's important is that I will be studying my dream course.
"How's our future doctor?" mom entered my room as I was getting ready to bed
"Good mom, you should get some rest already" I replied as I was putting some moisturizer on my face "anyway, mom don't worry if that's the reason why you can't sleep, we still have 3 weeks to bond before my flight"
"Always remember to message me or your dad" she reminded me
"mom, we still have a lot of time together, don't worry I will update you guys as often as I can" I replied 
"alright, get some sleep now" she said and closed the door
I know it's hard for them to let me study abroad, I saw how they cared for me even if I'm already 18 they didn't let me to have my own apartment. I wished to live independently to test my ability to survive alone, which is one of the reason why I decided to study abroad. 
"Don't forget us Raya!" Claire shouted 
"we will miss you baby" my mothers last word to me echoed inside my head as I enter the plane. I will miss them too, so much.
believe when they say, tim flies so fast, because it's true. Yesterday I was just 15, I met Farris, I indeed fell for him, but I didn't say anything to anyone. After a few months after he left, his friends gave me a box and they said it's from Farris. 
There's a lot of stuffs in the box, there are a lot of hair accessories, necklaces, bracelets and earrings can also be seen, there's an Eiffel tower keychain with a tulip sticker I guess and some stationeries. All of them are pretty and I like them to be honest, but I left all of them in the house because I wanna treasure them. Knowing that I'm too clumsy and I can easily lose my accessories, I would rather left them at home than bringing them with me abroad.
While waiting for the other passengers, I decided to do journaling to past time and to clear my thoughts inside my head. I was in the first class so I have some privacy which was amazing for my first ever flight. 
"Good morning ladies and gentlemen" the pilot said after all the passengers were settled. Good thing I chose morning flight so that I can still buy some necessities for my apartment, also groceries so I won't be spending a lot eating outside.
My flight will last for 2 hours and 30 minutes, I also got enough sleep last night but I will still take a nap during the flight so I can get enough energy once I arrive. Falling asleep isn't a problem with me since I can fall asleep due to boredom. 
I ate breakfast in the plane so when I finished, I decided to read a book first before taking a nap. I woke up an hour later so I decided to plan my first day in China to make it productive so I can fall asleep fast later in the evening.
"Welcome to China ma'am" the taxi driver greeted me
"Thank you" I replied and told him my apartment building. China is one of the best country to study medicine since they have advance healthcare systems, China is also a leader for medical innovation which was amazing for my opinion.
When I got into my unit, I immediately gave myself a tour to familiarize the unit. It's not a super big apartment, in fact it is a loft apartment. there are two bedrooms, one is the loft and the other is just a small room so I planned on making it an office instead. I immediately unpacked my luggage organized my stuffs, after that I took a shower because I feel sticky due to the high temperature outside. After that I went outside to buy groceries good for a week.
"1,580 Yuan" said the cashier, I payed via paypal then headed back straight to my apartment. Good thing there's a convenience store nearby the building. Transportation is also easy here so it's not a problem for me going to the city.
I cooked my first meal and ate lunch before going out again to familiarize my area. I'm near the city actually, but I still have to use public transportation to get in there. I decided to buy some vase and flowers to add some colors in my apartment, I also bought some bedsheets and organizers for some of my stuffs. 
Once I'm done with my little shopping spree moment, I got back into my apartment and finished decorating and organizing. After that I cooked my dinner and let myself have some rest before getting ready for bed. Tomorrow will gonna be a long day since I'll be settling some papers and I will try to go to the university.
