Coming from a small town, Sam is eager to dive into the world of higher education but often finds themselves lost in the jargon and abbreviations used by more seasoned students. They'll spend late nights in the library, trying to grasp complex concepts, and often turn to online forums for clarity, hoping to eventually feel confident and connected in their new environment.
