Of course! College is a huge step in becoming an adult... for more teens this is the first time living away from home, and also it's a lot more freedom on when to do homework... but a lot more stressful because normally it's harder and sometimes you're even working a job too.

Of course! Change can be scary for anyone. College is a big step into adulthood. Moving away from the comfort of home is especially challenging. Breaking out of your comfort zone can lead to growth! You're going to further yourself academically and personally. It's a great time to meet new people and make connections.

It's always a little scary starting something new. Feeling a little scared is quite normal when you doing something you haven't done before. It just takes a little while to adjust to a new environment and people.

Yes, it is a major life change. People are usually afraid of moving on and starting over. This is very natural.

Of course! I was super scared when I started, even if I didn't feel like I was. I was nervous, couldn't concentrate properly and had a hard time making friends, but as time went by, I grew up and learned a few tricks, so don't worry!

In some cases it is, for example; you have a big presentation that day. But to be scared everyday about the thought of going to college there is something going wrong. When my anxiety was at its worst, I was too scared to leave the house, and my grades dropped drastically at school. But you can overcome this, even when it may look like there is no way out. Have you tried thinking about what it is you are actually afraid of and is that thought rational? Like what is the worst case scenario and what would you do during that moment, and what will people around you do at that moment. And most importantly, how likely is it that that worst case scenario will actually happen?
