How to stop being so nervous for school?

So, I am a second semester theatre major at my local community college. I really enjoyed the previous semester apart from one class. This semester I am in two “hands on” type courses, and it’s making me nervous. I’m the type that prefers to just sit and take notes, and I learn VERY slowly because I’m not confident in myself. Also, my best friend and i’s Schedules don’t really allow us time to hang out this semester, especially as she is at another school across town. How do I stop being so nervous for this semester?

Well it sounds like you're already into it. Kudos to you !

It's always a bit nerve-wracking having to put yourself 'out-there'.
Especially when it's among your peers where you don't feel quite as confident as others 'appear' to be in your group.

But this is how you grow. This is how you get to express yourself and gain acceptance from others you work with !

You can do this !

The very best way is to realize most everybody else is nervous too and are more worried about their sweaty palms than yours. Dive right in and if you make a mistake, laugh at it and learn.

Drink half a bottle of scotch before you go in
