<p>Im an incoming fresh and seriously Ive been having panick attacks about college.</p>

<p>My stats and basically my whole academic life has been regular, regular-good, sometimes regular-bad and once in a while bad, anyway, I got into this great College and suddenly Im freaking out cos I think im not enough!!!......is any of you having attacks? lol</p>

<p>I do great socially, Im good at sports and Im already thinking I wont be accepted cos perhaps Im too much social (party, highers, bed, alcohol), on top of that I am an international student, and to be honest Ive never been a book worm :s we have a summer reading and I havent started yet, I am a huge procrastinator, and not very good at studying, Oh yeah! and since Im an international Im pretty sure what I consider a high athletic lever, will be a mid level :s ughhhh!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>At times im super excited but then Im like....$H1t Im not good enough who am I trying to fool and stuff like that ugh!</p>

<p>I’m sure you’ll be fine. I pretty much got straight Bs in high school with a couple As and a couple Cs. I’m doing well in college now.</p>

<p>I feel the same way :|</p>

<p>I’ve done OK in high school. I had mostly A’s and B’s, but there are several valedictorians and salutatorians going to my school and I already feel like I’m not enough. I didn’t even start school yet! Haha so I’m veryveryvery intimidated. What’s worse is that I’m on the Bio/premed track so I’m. Going. To. Die.</p>

<p>I keep telling myself that I’ll kick butt and push myself to studystudystudy, but I don’t know if I can do it :expressionless: Oh well, we’ll see …</p>

<p>I feel the same way with the kids in my major program. I’ve seen what some of them are capable of and it’s making me kind of nervous. I’m used to being the top dog in my town when it comes to this stuff, but I’m afraid they’re all going to be better than me. I feel like it’s kind of a good thing though, because it’s going to motivate me to improve.</p>

<p>There will always be someone better/smarter than you. Take it as a challenge.</p>

<p>Procrastinators generally don’t do well academically in college…take it from a reformed procrastinator who changed after 3 semesters of college (and rest of my life too).</p>

<p>You will be okay. I think it’s a normal thing to feel as you’re first going into college, but that will go away as you get used to it.</p>

</p>

<p>I’m a HUGE procrastinator. Well, I better start changing that habit around.</p>

<p>Chill, man, seriously. It’s gonna be fine.</p>

<p>Lol I’m a huge procrastinator and everything is fine. You’ll be okay as long as you get it done, though I imagine it’s a bit less stressful if you don’t procrastinate.</p>

<p>I’ll give you a hint. Don’t worry. Don’t go around trying to be who others want you to be.
Be yourself. If people don’t respect that, forget them.</p>

<p>So many people are so concerned about being accepted, and become fake, something I personally believe is unforgivable.</p>

<p>T.H.A.N.K you! haha, hope you are right lol, hell I wanna be myself :D, hopefully this will disappear :smiley: Thank you guys, seriously I need to read stuff like these every once in a while lol</p>

<p>I totally know what you are going through. I feel really bad because I managed to get a B+ average in high school; I was never really the straight-A student…ever (middle school doesn’t count). But yeah, I got into a school that I don’t feel like I deserve, but I feel like it will all change. I never liked high school because, one: It starts too early (7AM), and two: You can’t really pick classes you want. You don’t really have the freedom to plan out your own schedule in high school. I know college work will be more demanding, but being able to make a schedule to fit my comfort zone will definitely help me do better academically. Don’t worry too much!</p>
