    Anxious about college induction day!
    I'm seriously anxious about my induction day at college this Friday... it's just the idea of having to meet my future new friends, and the need to make a good impression on the teachers; I have this odd sort of "need" to be the best at everything I do - whatever the cost. I just constantly worry about my voice breaking (which annoyingly seems to be happening all the time - it sounds rather rough) or people thinking that I'm weird.

    I'd really appreciate some advice, or just motivating comments! Thanks x

    I get social anxiety a lot, so I can imagine how you feel. For me, it helps to sit down, close my eyes and do a kind of meditative breathing exercise. Also, keep reminding yourself of all the awesome possibilities that await you at college.
