Yes, this a very normal thing. College is a big change and a big decision, so it is natural to feel anxious or scared about it. If you find it hindering your ability to go to college, then you might want to seek help or talk to someone.

100% yes! College is new and nerve wracking! If you weren't scared then I would say that you didn't care enough.

feeling scared is a normal reaction. we all have fears in life. of course your growing up moving on with your life and it's a completely different environment then what your used to. but knowing college will be fun, will help you in the long run and enjoying it. just like you were scared when you started high school know it will be a easy breeze once you get used to it.

Yes! Of course! It is a new chapter in your life and it's something you have never experienced before. Don't worry too much, think of it as a new adventure and keep yourself open to new opportunities.

Yes, it is normal to feel scared to go to college since it is a bigger place and some folks move away from home and friends for the 1st time. It makes it easier with Skype these days and cell phones thou.

Of course it’s normal. You are changing the scene, you step out of your comfort zone , wich is high-school.

Yes, it's completely normal. Mostly everyone goes through the stress it causes. You're moving up to the next level of education. It's scary.

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?
