Anxiety about going to college?

[ElStud]

Well, this Sunday I'm going to have my first taste of College, as that's when I have to go there for band camp. And right after band camp ends, which is around Friday of next week, school starts. And I don't know why, but I just have anxiety about it. You know, anxiety about walking around the universities huge campus and stuff, worrying I won't be able to find my classes and stuff. Heck, even a little worry that I might even get lost. I mean, I am kind of pumped for the football games and meeting new people and all that stuff, but there's still the anxiety. So does anyone have any tips on getting OVER this?

Ha I'm not getting anxiety, I'm just really excited for it. I'm not going to a big college ie UCSB or anything like that, but I'm excited to meet new people..especially the girls

Get a map of the campus, know where stuff is before you NEED to know where it is.

My first few months I had no idea where the **** anything was or where I was going. Campus was bad enough, but the surrounding area and nearest city were even worse. Luckily I mostly hung with kids that had been there a little while so I didn't have to locate much on my own.

You can always just walk out the door and see where you wind up. That's usually enjoyable in an unfamiliar place.

Just take some xanax. Just kidding.
Be confident and act like you own the place.
Smile alot. Talk to people. You'll be ok.

Dont be afraid at all! If you were the Loser in highschool no one knows that, you can start from strach, and be the guy with all the girls. Seriously the girls are horny as **** and its like shooting fish in the barrel. Youll have a blast man.
