You'll do great, don't worry. Remember teachers since preschool have been telling you every year that next year is going to be harder and to be prepared. If you got this far with those grades college won't be any different. My advice is to not to over extend yourself the first semester don't take 6 classes even if they seem easy, you will be busy with non academic activities. Also don't rush in to a major most students change there major once in college.
Beware of the freshman 15! If you have a GF leave her at home you will meet someone new who will blow your mind. Beware of skanks, example at SDSU 1 in 4 students have a STD so be careful. Don't be intimidated like a HS freshman walk around like you own the place girls don't care your age or grade level now.
The hardest thing for me was finding time to study, living away from home and with a roommate increases your social time dramatically. Use the library or other quiet places to study. In the dorms or college apts. every day and night is a party.
Don't worry about essays I never thought I could write a 20 page paper but it can be done in less than two days when needed. Your major concern will be money, there is so much opportunity for fun in college but not funds.
FYI I graduated in 2001 so my experiences are very recent.
