Ms. Becky,
I teach college and have a lot of students who are on the brink of this scary transition, too. It's hard to be alone especially when you are facing an uncertain future. But if I can give any advice, I would say to use this alone time to think about what you want to do with your life, if not forever, at least for now.
You were shy in college, but now you are starting a new life with new people you will meet when you enter the working world. Think of it as a "do-over", you can work on your shyness and be anyone you want to be!
Hang in there! The best is yet to come.
Miss Cast.
