My anixety started up in college too! I try to focus on things that are going on presently like talking with someone or doing homework instead of looking internally (into what you're thinking). I also recommend therapy, it helps you realize that lots of people deal with anxiety and it doesn't have to disrupt your whole life.

Maybe keep a journal to get your thoughts down on paper instead of keeping them in your head.  

Good Luck!
