Yes! College is a whole new change of environment with new people and new things to learn. It is ok to be scared- but don't let that stop you from reaching your dream goals!

yes, college is a huge life change and it would be unusual to not feel apprehensive about it. fear can be a positive thing, it means you are taking steps out side of your usual boundaries and growing as a person.

It is normal indeed. Fear of the unknown......... Fear of change...........
Understand though that the fear only exists in your mind.

Its normal to feel anxious, I think scared is a big term for going to college. Some amount of anxiousness helps you. So, as long as its under control, no need to worry.

Feeling scared to go to college? It's totally normal. EVERYONE feels this when they're in high school. You have no idea what to expect out of the real world, and becoming an adult feels terrifying. One thing I've learned is that you never change that much - you still stay who you were before. There's nothing to be afraid of. You're going to love college. Trust me! : ) : ) : )

Yes, it is perfectly normal and understandable. Everybody has this fear to the unknow and sometimes this fear is enhance by what other people tell about it. For example, they can say that it is going to be so hard or that there is not going to have time to enjoy yourself because you are always going to be studying. That kind of concerns are normally irrational. The best thing you can do if try to answer if you think that go to college is a thing you want to do or need t do in order to get the job you want . If the answer is yes, then you just need to have your own experiences about it. In studies as in life there are things you can´t control and you need to focus in make your best effort in order to be happy and make others happier.

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?
