I agree completely! I go back to school in about...3 to 4 weeks. Usually, I just take 10 to 30 minutes each day to relax myself by doing things that I like. That involves exercising, building my confidence up by practices meant for that, taking many bubble baths, meditating so my mind will be cleared and relaxed as much as possible, and I even treat myself to my favorite foods the day before I go back to school. It's my technique really, but you can do whatever you want. But the best way to feel comfortable about going back to school is keeping yourself relaxed.

One thing you should work on is to identify what is it exactly that makes you feel that way. Is it the school itself, the teachers, school buddies, subjects, etc? afraid of getting bullied? previous bad experiences? anti social? Once you got that figured out, not just guessing "maybe it's this or that", then you can focus and question yourself, again and again, is it really worth it to worry ? Can or can't I do anything about it ? What options do I have ? I know it could be easier said than done but hey, it's a start. Besides how many times you go back to school? once a year? ... you'll be ok !!

The first thing is to understand the reason behind your going to school and what you gain in the end. If you realize the gains, you'll create personal zeal and enthusiasm for school and you'll even be anxious to resume back on time and graduate on time so that you can achieve your set target. Schooling itself is an organized way to get education, which is a very important aspect of a human being. Education does not necessarily mean going to school, like we do today. For example Albert Eisten, Isaac Newton, Michael Faraday, and their likes did not attend our own type of school, yet we study their works when we attend school. They were really educated even beyond millions of professors in the world today. But their own type of education is hard and it's meant for specially gifted people like them. Now for us that are not like them, the modern form of education is good and easy for us. In essence, you need to realize the fact that the education you enroll in is meant to transform your life to that needed to meet the normal challenges of life, ranging from social to economic challenges. In the end, you become one of the professionals that help tackle financial, social, economic, scientific, legal and all other problems that arise in day to day lives in this modern world. Thanks and happy mylotting!
