going to a new college

hi! i havent ever used this site but i needed somewhere to voice my mind on this without being a burden elsewhere. i am seventeen and retook my gcse exams this year, and got accepted into city of westminster to do a performing arts diploma, i am very greatful and excited to be starting a college because of the freedom it will give me, and that drama is something i have always excelled at even in secondary school. my worry lies within making friends and just being in a new environment in general. i consider myself a very social person when it comes to people but i can also tend to be painfully awkward when it comes to what i actually talk about. im also nervous that ill be out of my depth within performing arts. i dont do any extracurricular activities/stagecoach outside of academics and dont want to be the only one whos not like a progidy haha. these arent very big worries but it feels like the more closer it comes to enrolment day and my first day its eating me up more and more. any advice/tips?

Don’t worry - you have nothing to worry about if you are a social person.

hii i don’t think you need to worry as much as it’s mostly in your head like i think everything just sounds worse in your thoughts but in reality it isn’t! remember everyone is in the same situation and probably everyone’s shi*ting their pants too😭 also just remember to put yourself out there! be calm and remember if you act cool/confident you will probably attract the cool people 😋
