Yes! If you can do this, it will change things more than you might realize. I just want to mention that MOST people in their first semester in college are kind of lonely. They just don't talk about it. And they try not to show it. They look all settled in their groups, but they are not nearly as settled as they seem. It's only September! The other thing is that sometimes the group you might fall into out of a bit of desperation in the beginning is not who will become your true friends. I realize you don't feel part of any group right now. I'm talking about the people who appear to be settled: As a wise elder (haha), believe me, they are all insecure and wondering what other people think of them and are trying to not show it. NOT saying having a stutter doesn't make it harder. Just trying to poke a little hole in the everyone-else-is-comfortable-and-settled illusion. That's all! This WILL get better. It will it will.
