I find out whether I get in to university or not on the 11th. I should get in, if you look at statistics from the last few years I am well above the cut off. I'm nonetheless quite nervous about it. I switch between planning for my own apartment and what I'm going to furnish it with and not wanting to get ahead of things.

The prospect of university is quite scary as well. I haven't had to seriously academically apply myself since about 2016 and part of me wonders if I'm up for it. I really should be, other people can do it so why not me, right?

Don't worry about it. As an undergraduate the baseline is the guys who haven't sobered up from the night before and spent every lecture playing video games on their laptop. You should put in much more effort than them if you're not just there for the sheepskin, but if you do it's really unlikely that you'll do badly in your classes.
