In the video, the TikToker – whose username is @lemonadefaramouw1 – is seen getting her uniform ironed and her hair ready for her first day back. Among other back-to-school duties, she also documents her travels to school with the people with whom she resides as well as the hearty meal she had during her lunch break.
