I'm in the same boat. The closer it gets, the more nervous I get. :s-smilie:

The studying doesn't worry me... just, you know, literally everything else...

I'm really scared about making friends since I'm such a shy person. I need people to approach me before I'll even speak to them.

Me too. I'm not really shy, I just struggle to be myself around people at first. And I don't really drink, so I'm worried that people won't want me around - like they'll assume that I'm no fun, or that I don't want to be around people who drink... neither is true... but I'm freaking out a bit.

Same here

I just feel like I'm not ready! especially when I'm having some trouble sorting out finance and I actually don't know what I'm doing when I get there :/ haven't bought any tickets for fresher events, scared about my anxiety and awkwardness., plus don't know what to do as a non drinker & clubber during freshers aargh :argh:

same, i dont drink at all and am slightly worried about socializing because of this. i hope my flatmates wont exclude me when they will be pre-drinking as i will probably be consuming non alcoholic beverages

Exactly - that's what I'm worried about. I'm also dreading the questions about why I don't drink and the "Oh go on, just have one!" stuff.

And I'm just not very good at being a functioning person when faced with lots of new things all at once. I'm nervous that I'll be so focused on studying, finding part-time work, and remembering to eat real food, that I'll neglect friendships at first... and then it will be too late.

i dont really think people are going to force us to drink though after we say no once or twice.

Yeah, I know... in theory anyway. :smile:

I just really hope it's not going to be an issue.
