Hey, was just wondering if anyone on here could reassure me as i'm getting a few pre-uni nerves! Actually pre-freshers week nerves more than uni ones.
I'm naturally a quiet, shy person so I'm dreading a lot of fresher's week as it seems to be so social. Centred around playing board games in pubs, clubbing, karaoke, games and pub crawls etc. I dont like getting drunk either so that doesnt help! Once I get to know people i'm usually loud and confident but obviously I wont make good friends in a day so i'm worried. Most of my close friends are going to unis at least an hour away from me.
Im totally fine with the idea of uni, its just the whole freshers week thing i'm stressing about. I know its necessary to encourage people to make friends and stuff but I dont want to make friends that way - I have a feeling that most people will be getting blind drunk as its their first time away from home etc and it'll be awkward. I hate playing games too as it seems so forced and stupid.
Can anyone help me stop worrying? I know its silly and i'll probably get there and it'll be fine but I cant get the whole thing out of my mind. Part of me just wishes i could skip it altogether and start my course!
