Hi Ashley, and WELCOME. Good for you that you have continued in high school and are soon to graduate. Congratulations!
The key re: expanding out your safety zone is gradual exposure to the new environs.
Do you know where you will be going to college? Is it in another town/state?
Hope you will post again.
Regards, Peanut
