How my Stutter has impacted College for me

How my Stutter has impacted College for me I'm towards the end of my third year of college currently. I've had an on and off stutter since I was very young and the past few years, it's gotten to the worse it's ever been since around 7th-8th grade. For me, the timing of this is absolutely awful. I've always been naturally introverted, and my stutter makes it difficult for me to ask any questions I want too in class. It's mainly based around the fear I have of "advertising" that I stutter to anyone else. ​ It may seem a bit silly, because my friends in class I talk too all know I stutter, but it's never really something I like talking in in depth with anyone. (Unless say they are family or a significant other.) My speech therapist recommends both being able to "advertise" that I stutter to take the weight off my shoulders and take control. I 100% see the logic in this, but I don't want to be looked at differently by dozens of people at once in any class by letting everyone know I stutter. Stuttering makes me feel like an abnormality, an outcast. Simple things like answering the phone, or telling someone else my own name can be heart-pounding tasks for me. ​ He also recommends slowing down my rate of speech so that I can be very fluent when I talk. Again, I would love to do this on an everyday basis, but I would feel ostracized and embarrassed for being forced to speak slowly due to my stutter. I wish I really didn't care what people thought of my stutter, but I do. ​ I want to still be able to talk at a "normal" rate and can sometimes get away with this, but my stutter eventually comes back into my speech at awkward times. We live in a fast paced world, and honestly you really notice when you stutter. You come up to a counter to get food and they ask you rapid fire questions, and you have trouble getting the first word out. Trying to adapt the slower speech in a fast paced world is difficult for me. ​ I am trying to get through my final years of college and pursue my degree. I just wish my experience wasn't tainted by a stutter, college is already difficult. I just wanted to post this to see if anyone else could relate in either dealing with college and stuttering at the same or struggling with "advertising" that they stutter. ​ Tl:dr- My stutter makes college harder and this frustrates me, It's hard to follow my own speech therapists advice as well due to my own anxiety towards how I am perceived.
