Don't worry, everything will be fine. You will make friends and set up your dorm exactly the way you want it. You will be able to do all your homework and get good grades. You will get along with your roommate or make friends with the girls on your hall. You will not feel stressed and overwhelmed all the time… Twitter definitely lied to you.

Going to college really is a big change. You go from living with your family to living on your own in a matter of hours. It seems like something you will never get used to, but I promise that you will. Saying goodbye to your parents is so weird and it doesn't sink in that you won't be seeing them for a while. And suddenly, you're alone.

My tip for you is to leave your door open at all times during the first week of school. People walking through the halls will feel comfortable enough to stop in and introduce themselves. It is easier to make friends with others if you aren't alone, so getting accustomed to your roommate is a great first step. Your college will most likely have some sort of new student orientation where you can meet more people. It seems weird but, walk up to anyone and introduce yourself, but even if you feel uncomfortable, the chances are high that that person feels just as awkward and will be thankful for your bravery.

Go to class. If you go to a bigger school it may seem like you don't have to, but you really are only hurting yourself. Even if you go and online shop the whole time, you are more likely to hear something important there than if you are asleep in your dorm.

Make friends with everyone. You can make friends with people in your dorm, people from a new club you joined, or people from your classes. Everyone is special in their own way, and if you keep an open mind, you will have friends in every corner of campus.

You should also get involved. Not to sound like your high school guidance counselor, but getting involved in clubs, sports, or even club sports, can really be helpful. You get to meet a bunch of people just like you while bonding over something you all have in common.

If you get homesick, keeping busy will take your mind off of things. Make sure you call your parents at least once a week, I promise they will appreciate it. Make plans for your family to come to your school and meet all your friends. If you and your friends from home have different breaks, make plans for them to come to visit you or for you to go to them.

Overall, just remember that it really isn't as scary as you think. You will find new people, professors, classes, and activities that you love. College is about opening your mind, so accept this new challenge and conquer it. Be open to change, be open to a new you... and remember, enjoy it!
