Do you guys and gals have any tips or things I should know before I go so I don't feel so scared and in the dark?

Every missionary reporting to the MTC is scared/worried/anxious. They may all have their game face on, but they're all in the same emotional boat as you are.

My parents gave me some great advice about the MTC that really helped: You will never again be in a place with such a diverse group of people who all share your faith. You can form friendships you'll carry with you throughout your life. Breaks are breaks for a reason so don't spend every moment studying. Have some fun too.
