Or for school?

- Yeah.

- Both, I'm really nervous - Both?

- Yeah.

I'm nervous for both.

[speaking in Urdu] - [Baneen] Yeah, but I'm scared for college too, not just interacting with students.

- Oh, no don't be scared, you'll be fine.

It's just the first semester that is going to be hard and then you - Okay Raza bye, I think I'm going to go now.

Um, we need to go shopping soon.

And get stuff.

- Okay.

Make some nice memories while you're there and yeah.

[ambient music continues] [Baneen reading] [plane in flight] [Baneen continues reading] [crowd noises, off-screen] [speaking in Urdu] [group all speaking in Urdu] - It's, it's really hard.

- You can carry yourself up.

- [Photographer] Here, now.

I'll take your picture on 'three'.

One, two, three.

All right, good.

You can go ahead and mask back up.

- Hi everyone, my name is Baneen Khan and I am 19 years old, I live in Paragould, Arkansas and this is my first semester here at Black River.

My hobbies include drawing, I'm into music and trying new food and traveling.

[distant noise] [family laughing] [phone ringing] - Hey, what's up guys?

- Nothing.

[indistinct] Hey guy's, its me.

Wait, Umal, let me show you something.

Look.

- What is that?

- [Baneen] That's my student ID, yeah.

- Oh!

It's your student ID!

- It looks very quality.

- I got it yesterday.

- How is your assignments and stuff going?

- Mine?

Oh my God, it's, it's a lot of stress right now to be honest, like I have, so everything is like weekly and I don't have any lectures and like daily classes or anything so that's what makes it really harder.

Like, I really want a connection with my teachers because right now I can't, like I just emailed them but that's not like a proper introduction or they don't know me properly, I don't know them.

So, it just makes you feel really alone and you're doing everything by yourself.

You know what I really miss?

I miss playing games with you guys.

- [Friends] Yeah.

- Like sequins and everything, oh my God, I miss it.

- Yeah.

- You know, I was watching my Snapchat memories with you guys, like in the car, listening to music and I was like, oh my God I miss them so much!

Going to Social Hub everyday.

Man.

- Oh, we've been to Social Hub again.

Me and Baghdad.

- Really?

- [Friend] We met up with my friend as well, yeah.

We played cards the entire time.

- [Baneen] Without me?

How dare you!

- I will help you, whatever you want.

I have to just put it behind me.

I will always be here with you.

- Thanks.

- I know.

- It's just like being twins!

You laugh, you smile, you talk.

[phone beeping] [speaking in Urdu] [soft piano music] - Love you.

[soft piano music continues] - [TV] "So help me God."

- So help me God.
