Dear SingDanceRunLife,
If you've read any of my posts, you know that I am proud of my tendency to ramble and go off topic! It is my trademark! I am now going to grace you with a tidbit.
Once while lying in my son's bed as was customary before he went to sleep (he was in 1/2 day kindergarten at the time), he said, "Mom, I'm scared."
I asked him what about, and he said he was afraid that he was not going to be able to learn all the things he was expected to know to get into first grade. He was very seriously upset and worried, a very unusual thing for him.
I thought for a moment and then assured him that they would teach him many things in kindergarten and, one lesson at a time, he would soon know everything he needed to know before 1st grade started. I said, you know that big kid,Tyler, who you don't like and you think is stupid? He answered, yes, he did. I said, he's in fourth grade. Do you think if he can make it through first grade that you can do it, too? He giggled, "Yes!"
Many, many students have made it through their first year of college before you and you will, too. 
Oh. And I made it through college, graduated Cum Laude, while working three part-time jobs. You're gonna be fine.
