**Great job, congrats.** I'd say at the first day of Uni, go to the people who seem the most pleasant and the most sociable, and just introduce yourselves. Ik it sounds kinda quirky but it works, and its not weird at all. If you stutter, just clear up the air that you have a speech impediment and move on. If they judge you or make fun of your stutter - which, 99% of the time, nobody does in uni because they've all matured to some degree - just shake it off feel petty for that person who needs to belittle someone else to feel elevated. Till be a daunting experience, one that'll probably include some embarrassing moments, but it is through these embarrassing moments that you'll be able to filter out the good and honest people from the judgmental and narcissistic ones. I participate in MUN's, debating competitions in which we've got to lobby before our debating sessions. It all involves randomly going up to people and asking about their stance and everything, so i have a pretty good idea of what it feels like. Lastly, what seems as highly embarrassing and humiliating in your head may not actually be that embarrassing to others at all, so stop your mind from exaggerating things when they get bad (and good aswell :)) and focus on the small wins. **Have fun and good luck!** \- ps: you just took advice from a 16y/o so idk take it with a grain of salt?
