So nervous about starting uni that I feel like throwing up? :(

I'm not even staying in halls. I'm commuting but the thing that worries me the most is not making friends as i'm quite shy when meeting new people. I'm outgoing once people get to know me but i'm absolutely dreading the first week and cant sleep at night just thinking about it. What do I do :'(

Put yourself out of your comfort zone for one week, just one week and you'll have a blast.

Especially since you're commuting, you gotta put extra effort.

I'm commuting but it will honestly not be THAT bad. Put yourself out of your comfort zone by getting involved more :smile:

(I can't say much as I'm kinda nervous but I'm hoping to join a society and meet some people etc. that way).

Be nice be friendly.
Go up to people and introduce yourself. They won't be annoyed they'll be happy. Everyone is in the same boat. Go to as many fresher events as you can!

are you saying that all muslims are none-alcohol drinkers? I know muslims that drink - I even know jews (or just one jew) that eat(s) pork, and I know christians that still eat shell fish.

Soocities are you friend :smile:

I transferred unis and this year I'm commuting so I'm scared too, but if you are friendly with people and aren't standoffish you can make friends :smile:

Some of my best friends from my last course commuted and they had friends. It's not that difficult, you've just got to trust yourself and be comfortable introducing yourself :smile:

I dont drink

is there a rational reason for that? have you not liked alcohol in the past or are you just saying no because something is forcing you to without any kind of modern-day rationale?
