Hey guys. I need some advice, or reassurance or whatever.
I am a 22 year old male who is just now transferring into his junior year at uni- I know I hate it too- because I felt like I didnt want to waste any more time in my life today I moved to NY from San Francisco to start college and doing stand up. But today was just the fucking worst.
I dropped off my shit and instantly I hopped onto a subway to midtown new york. I was completely overwhelmed. The sounds the sights the new cultures- it was all just so much and it put this seed of doubt into my mind that has started to give me a massive anxiety attack over weather or not I made the right decision. I already miss home, I already loathe the idea of living in a dorm with a room mate and shared floor bathrooms, but this is it. I cant go back. Maybe im freaking out because this is sort of the start of my adult life and is a sink or swim moment but its just caused me to go into panic mode.
Hey man change is always hard. You'll figure it out!

This has got to be some trollish shit. If you're from cali, you can handle NY. Also you're doing stand up. Buck the fuck up. Use your peers for support.

Sounds like that buyer's remorse thing, invest in sound dampening head phones, get maps on your phone, pull up social accounts to see what's familiar and who you can get to know better. Find clubs, find bars, find social gatherings. Find quiet place in the area where you can study or do hobbies. There is so much potential that you are too scared to see right now.
Living by yourself is terrifying at first. Honestly, I moved an hour from home and the first 2 nights were overwhelming for me. But you will adapt, you'll start to establish a routine and become comfortable. Don't give up bro
