Just be confident and you'll do well
But inside I'm scared as Hell
Just be yourself and you'll do fine
How much polish before I shine?
It's easy if you play the game
But what if I don't feel the same?
The beginning is the place to start
What if I can't play the part?
Just remember to always try
You can bleed, just don't die

I've heard some of the same cliches. I liked how the narrator responded to them with his/her own doubts.
College is about asking questions in response to learning facts.
The narrator may want to consider the following cliche from this humbled, college alumni:
College is the time when you find your voice
But I have two ears and I believe in choice.
