Lukas walked nervously along the corridor of the college, where he was about to begin his first economics seminar. It was his first day of college, and he felt lost and alone. He didn't know any of his classmates or his field. He wished his best friend from the gymnasium, Martin, had been here to study medicine in Prague.
