College is awesome because you get a chance to reinvent yourself and gather a lot of good and new experiences. There are some really cool beginner activities especially in volunteer work or in art clubs, you can try to get involved in to dip your toes in the water without being required to speak into the limelight all the time. As you get more confident and comfortable you can be part of more public facing activities like drama or debates. When you're really truly having fun, sometimes you'll forget you even have a stutter. Some days will of course suck but know that in college, everyone is going through their own shit trying to fit and do their best. People are also growing up and becoming more mindful than they'd have been in middle or high school. Even if you do have a hard time, people will be kinder rather than meaner. Draw strength and courage from that find out what you enjoy and are good at.
