Biggest advice to you is to stick to a schedule and do not wander from it. Go to all your classes on time. Letting yourself sleep in just one day because you're SUPER tired that morning will lead to more and more leniency which is a very slippery slope. Go to sleep on time; never underestimate the importance of sleep to your studies (if you're studying psychology you should know or will soon learn just how damn important sleep is to your brain). And always leave a bit of time to relax because all work and no play will drive you insane.

hehehe I studied psychology and i was introvert ( iguess im still am). Good luck, don't be scared, nobody is going to harm you. Eventually you will find (or they find you) people who has the same interest as you. Say hello and all that.
Don't be scare to talk in class, really.

I, being an introvert myself, would just like to say that you should make some good friends at the university. Being in someone's company is not too bad... You will miss these days once you get into professional life (at least I miss the time spent with my friends, the university: definitely not so much lol). Create memories that you can cherish later.

(sigh) Young 12 (20) year-olds have all the fun...
I remember my first year:
[flashback] met a girl [5 years younger], realized shes got a boyfriend, became her friend for the next 2 years;
found out they broke up, "upgraded" the relationship, was shocked to find her ex-boyfriend had a point [crazy bi***, shaved my... nvm], was miserable for the next 2 years. [/flashback]
But at least I didn't marry her.

hey at least you got to "know" her..
do you realize what would of happened if you NEVER had the chance with her? You'd be thinking for the rest of your life
"what if..."
That's one of the worst things that can happen to a person. You'd never shake taht feeling, ever.
Plus by the looks of it, it could had been so much worse! she could have you handcuffed and harvest your organs while you were alive, or she could have you sodomized and sent pics to your mom and grandma, or straight up streamlive it to internet :P
She could had you pimped, sold, enslaved, ridiculized, yada yada yada, whatever she shaved would grow again, and nothing wrong with softskin either, except when it's start growing, itchy! XD

I WAS handcuffed AND blindfolded. I don't think you realize what she was shaving**.
**even though I did it myself on occasion since than, that's not a way to wake up in the morning.
To this day I still can't get into someone's place if I know she owns handcuffs, razor-blades and blindfolds.

woah, yup I agree then, that def change things, that's no way to wake up (unless you're in that sort of things :P)
Yeah I think I know and I also know how it is, but never because of someone else.
Now I'll be on the lookout for razor-blades and knifes, thankfully I'm light sleeper so it's quite difficult to handcuff me unconscious haha
Dude, that could had worked out so dang different for you, I'm talking about missing flyers and/or a newspaper article..
One never truly knows people!

Everyone is nervous about starting university, so you are not alone. Also universitys tend to have lots of activities when you start to help you get into the student life :) and if they dont you will get to know people soon enough regardless with group assignments and such :)
As for the no confidence thing, I find that you grow alot in university and you get over alot of things you had problems with before, just give it some time :)
Goodluck with your studies :)

Try and ID students who are similar to yourself in study habits and make an effort to be near them or in their groups if your classes do groups. Intro Psychology is a lot of term memorization and usually multiple choice tests, so if you're not good at tests... practice. And if you're not good at studying try and get into or form study groups with like-minded individuals. Finding people you can stand to be around and work with gets easier over time since in most cases you're going to be having classes with a lot of the same students over the years. Also, get with advisers early on and don't take courses you don't need. I took a handful of courses "for my health" early on, but it came back to bite me in the butt (though to be fair, taking yoga HAS improved my life a bit in permanent ways so.. meh? Step aerobics and whatever the few other fitness classes I took were called though... probably coulda given them a miss)
