Is it normal that im excited to start college, but scared at the same time?

I'm getting ready to start college, and I have this felling of anxiety in my heart. I know I'm ready, but I cant get past this felling of failure. I know I can succed, but my mind, and body won't give me the felling of completion. Its like a blank stare into my soul.

Is it normal to feel this way?

  • Of course. I've always been the same with any change of life. When you settle into it, though, you wonder what you were worried about.

  • I would be more worried if you weren't

  • Yes! I was feeling the same way before I went to College. I didn't calm down until I got there and started meeting people! You're gonna love it! I just started this year but I can see what they mean when they say it's the best time of our lives, cause for me it really seems like it is. Try to relax a bit and get ready to LIVEEE!!! :D

  • It's completely normal to feel that way. You sound like me last year. At one point I didn't even want to go to college anymore. It was a bit hard to get used to in the beginning but I enjoy it now and the learning experience is amazing. Everything is going be alright. Like dappled said, you're going to wonder what you were worried about.
