Well done for applying to return to college. Could you speak to the college to find out what kind of support they will be able to offer you. Will you know any of the other students in your classes? What subjects are you interested in doing? Could you do some research before you start as to what you will be expected to do and how many days you have to attend college. I wish you the very best of luck. If you have any questions please ask. Take care.

Heya @gh0sth0rses and welcome from me too!
I echo Beavers words, applying to college again is amazing, well done you! I totally understand the anxiety though, your feelings are perfectly valid. But don't see it as 'standing out' being a bad thing. You're an individual, as everyone there will be. I hope you make tonnes of new friends.Albus (he/him)
