With emotions settled and past retionships put behind them, it was time to shift gears. The group, now more comfortable with each other, settled into their academic routines.

  The first semester was all about the basics—foundational courses that would set the stage for their future careers.

  Cian & Ciara were in Business and Finance, diving into economic theories, accounting principles, and corporate structures.

  Saoirse & Murphy tackled the complexities of Computer Engineering, spending hours debugging code and working on logic circuits.

  Liam focused on Law, bancing endless case studies and mock trials.

  Aoife & Aisling explored the world of Marketing, analyzing consumer psychology and branding strategies.

  Ronan worked through Civil Engineering, drafting blueprints and solving structural calcutions.

  The days were packed with lectures and assignments, and the evenings were spent either at the dorm, GaelCorp internships, or the occasional night out.

  As everyone settled into their new academic lives, the first semester started to take shape—not just in coursework but in friendships, ambitions, and new beginnings.
