Awe. I'm sorry. Maybe next year? I know it can be overwhelming, believe me. I was pretty freaked out in 2015, my first year. Make friends with people online now. Get to know them, message them, send PM's, read tweets, voice chat, etc. if you live close enough, get to know them irl.
Having met someone before, or knowing them, even if online only, will help make the anxiety issues less worrisome. You'll do better this next year, just as I did.
I didn't talk to anyone my first year. People kept trying to get me to talk, but I was too shy and uncomfortable. I just walked around with someone I knew. He was my rock. This year, my second year, I was a social butterfly. I was talking, and chatting, and going to meet everyone that I could. People that I had met last year, commented on how much of a different person than I was this year compared to last year. Some people joked that they couldn't get me to say anything last year, and now they couldn't get me to shut up.
