    On his first day, Jack felt out of place. The college campus was daunting, filled with athletic students and a sense of competition he wasn't used to.

    His new roommate was the perfect embodiment of the college. He was a muscular jock with an overpowering scent of sweat and a confident demeanor that Jack found intimidating.

    Living with his roommate was a whole new experience for Jack. His room was filled with sports equipment and protein shakes, a stark contrast to his old room full of books and video games.

    As days passed, Jack found himself joining in his roommate's workouts, slowly starting to enjoy the feeling of physical exertion.

    Jack's transformation was slow but noticeable. His muscles grew, his glasses were replaced by contacts, and his wardrobe started to mirror his roommate's.

    He tried to resist these changes, reminding himself of who he was before. But the more he tried to resist, the more he found himself falling into this new lifestyle.

    Jack was now a regular at the college gym, his previous nervousness replaced by determination and focus.

    He was no longer the wimpy nerd his father had sent to this college. He was becoming a jock, and he was starting to like it.

    One day, Jack looked at himself in the mirror and hardly recognized the person staring back. He had changed, both physically and mentally.

    The change was daunting and exciting at the same time. He had become a part of something he never thought he would, and he was proud of his transformation.
