I'm about to start college. I know no one in any of my classes. I am taking advanced courses. I'm really nervous. Many people have told me that I won't do well in college because I never had to study. I am very worried about my 200-level english course. I am afraid that I will be the only person there who is new.

Don't worry about it!
You'll make some new friends!
I'm starting college soon as well.
I only know 5 people, and it's likely I won't have any classes with them.
That's why you make new friends, you haven't known your current friends all your life, right?
Don't let it get you down, college will be a lot of fun!
Just make sure you have all your books, pencils, and a rested mind!
I hope you have a blast in college.
I'll try my earnest to.
PS- I've been in advanced courses for most of my life as well... without ever studying.
Eep!
I don't know what to tell you, other than we have a problem in common.
I guess we'll just have to bite the bullet, and study.

Well, you might be the only person who is new. So what? Relax and enjoy yourself, but you will need to learn some self-discipline. There's a very good chance you'll have more of a social life in college than you had in high school. Learn how to balance the two with sleep and cut out time wasters like TV.

It's true that college classes are much more intense than high school classes, so you WILL have to study in college even if you got good grades in high school without studying.
The thing about college is that -- unless you're at a really small school -- nobody knows people in their classes for the first few years. Until you're taking the 300 and 400 level classes for your major, you'll be with a different group of people in every course you take. (And if you're at a huge school, you won't even know the people in your major.)
The hardest thing about going to college is learning how to separate academics from your social life. If you live in a dorm there will be constant distractions -- your roommate will be watching TV when you want to do your homework, your next door neighbors will drop by to chat when they're avoiding their homework, the people across the hall will invite you to the cafeteria with them, your RA will drop by to invite you to a campus event... The best thing you can do for yourself is to get in the habit of going to the library (or your dorm's study lounge) when you study. It's annoying to walk all the way across campus, but you'll get SO much more accomplished because you'll be distraction-free.
Good luck!

Give up, get drunk and be on Girls Gone Wild or Shirtless College Party Girls.
