Hey, I was a nervous freshman before too. Some things I wish I knew when I was in my starting high school years:

Do the things you’re passionate about, and do them as much as you can and as well as you can. Don’t have a laundry list of things and clubs you’ve joined just to add to your resume.
-Colleges want well rounded classes, not necessarily well rounded students. Having a “spike” will really make you stand out at competitive schools. Colleges want students that are awesome at what they do. For example, if your spike and main interest is in medicine, it will not be the end of the world to get a B or 2 in English.

Freshman year is not the final decision maker for who you will be for the next three years. Take the time to grow and learn as a person and as a scholar. You will find your passions, your place, and your future. Good luck.
