Help How to get over social anxiety about this?

[obei]

So I am going to my first class of preparations for entrance exam for art uni.
The woman that is leading all that is very nice, or at least sounds like it on the phone, but other than that, I wont be knowing anyone there. People there know each other probably for quite some time, and ill be the only new one there.
How to get over this severe anxiety about this? I obviously cant drink there so I wont be able to be as social, and probably will be awkward as hell.
Please give me an advice…

You all have a common interest, Art. Try talking to some of the others about your work and theirs. You just need to be brave and make the first contact and once you get talking it should all wash away.
