It's absolutely okay. College is a big change and it's normal to be scared of what will the future brings. I hope you'll find a lot of friends and joy once you go there and really enjoy those years :)

It is 100% normal. College is a big step and it’s hard to make that jump sometimes. You just have to understand that college is the same as high school. You’ll get used to it after awhile. You might even like it :).

Absolutely. Going to college is often a person's first experience living without their parents which can be pretty scary

Of course!! College is a new experience and leads you into adulthood. I know, they say high school does that, but it's simply an introduction. Honestly, in college, focus and stay calm. Don't push yourself past your limits and be open to new opportunities.

Going to college is a huge step, especially for someone who does not have clear direction about the future! It can be very scary when you have to make decisions about your future at such a young age.

Definitely! Any sort of change can be scary, but eventually you find your people and where you fit in! Sometimes you learn that the school you're in isn't the right fit, or even that college isn't for you, and that's okay too. You just have to step out of your comfort zone and try new things to figure out who you are and what you love.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
