Got an offer from a university in Germany after a year of hard work.
I should be happy… but I’m scared.
Living alone, being away from family — it’s all hitting now.
Is it normal to feel this way? What should I do?

If someone have even think of doing work abroad, these are the first thoughts that would come to the mind of every individual. It’s really common in my perspective.
But these are the opportunities which can make an individual come out from their comfort zone.
Potential solution to such situation can be connecting yourself with those people who are the part of the university. Get used to the environment by asking them about their experiences - this can make your worries to least and you will be able to decide that you should whether go for it or not.

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS 
, opportunities like such are god sent.
And the feeling you are fearing is that of stepping into new waters.
Very justified, and I’m sure everyone at your family is going to be there for you emotionally and in spirit, to make up for the physical distance.
Once you step out of your comfort zone, having to learn the new language, culture, lifestyle and WORK, is going to take up all the time you spend there.
At some point you’ll realize, Change is the only constant in life.
I feel you should thank everyone for their support while you worked for your dreams and make sure you make the big move with everyone’s blessings, with a smile on your face.
ALL THE BEST

Find your own community after reaching there .. it will take time .. You will find good friends who are like family .. you can find some Indian communities and start connecting with them if you feel excluded. But it will be a good opportunity definitely. Nervousness is natural

Leaving your family to follow your dreams isn’t easy—it’s okay to feel emotional about it. Give yourself time. Stay in touch with loved ones, explore your new surroundings, and meet new people—you’ll soon start feeling at home.
