Pre-College Program anxiety

Next month I am going to be starting the college program. I am so excited about this because working for Disney has been my dream since I was three years old. It still doesn't feel real to me that this is about to happen.- I am starting to have to some major anxiety about it though and this is why. When I was typical college age (18-22) I was not ready or financially able to go to school then. I have been working and supporting myself since I was 20 years old. I had to grow up quickly and sometimes I feel a lot older than my 27 years. This year I went to back to school majoring in Hospitality and Tourism which is one of the best decisions I could have made for myself. I'm 27 now and I am worried about fitting in with all the younger students on the college program. I know I'll only be a few years older than most of the people there, but I am no longer into partying etc. For me this opportunity is about establishing my career and being at Disney, and following my dreams. I want to have fun too!! I am just so nervous about fitting in with the other students, I want to make new friends, but I don't want to stick out like a sore thumb.
