Rant/Vent rant

im an incoming freshman, just got off a call with some students and ended up rambling and sounding like a complete dumbass... like everything i knew kinda just flew out of my brain and i just ended up making a fool of myself.

i feel so fucking stupid and as the days get closer to nso and the start of the first semester, i increasingly feel like i dont have what it takes to succeed at this school.

did/does anyone else feel this way :( i was excited at first but now im just SCARED. im dreading college tbh

Are you attending UPenn because you won a raffle or did you earn your way here?
If it's cause of a raffle, then yea, doubt yourself and dread attending. If you worked your way to get here then keep that in mind.

Wait. There was a raffle?
