How do I stop thinking about being nervous?
A few days ago I had a bit of a nervous breakdown over college and now the nervousness has slowly been decreasing but I still get nervous over the thought of being nervous. This all started when I drove to college alone by myself for the first time and I had to use the bathroom. I freaked out and since then I've been getting nervous. Now it's just the thought of being nervous gets me nervous. Everyone keeps telling me it's just in my head. But how do I stop worrying about it so I could be normal again? Or will it just go away on it's own?

"Or will it just go away on it's own?"
You are right, it will just go away on its own, but it will come back anytime when conditions is fit for it.
In our life time we experience various things, and if it's worth referencing in our future, they're stored in the brain; the more chances it's released from the brain the more profound it becomes.
The messages released from our brain, is just for our reference, it's for us to use, not for us to worry.
Whenever we're faced with the brain to release unhappy messages, to know that this message appeared, if it's something that we have to face, just face it and solve it, does not exclude nor resist it, over the time, the effect of these messages will become lighter.
Rejection, resistance, etc. will only deepened the strength of these messages in the brain, and become more affecting on our life.
These informational messages, are just for the purpose of helping us, put down the messages which don't have reference value. Knowing the messages released from the brain are for reference only is important. People should never be worried or suffered by the messages released from the brain. Realize this is a reference message that we either use it or just put it down. If we cannot fulfill this simple rule, then we are exactly used by the body and mind.
One way you can practice and make your life calm and peaceful: observation.
This is a good example, for a person practiced the body and mind observation, can react to a daily event as described in the answer:
To practice the body and mind observation will let us personally experience the process of hatred, worry, sad, mad, etc., which let us know this kind of feeling is caused by our thoughts, and those thoughts is caused by our bias, subjective judgments, or value judgments, we will understand all these process are heavily influence our life. They actually are the burdens that we carried for many years. We are not used to live a life without involved with them. The clearer we can observe, the better we will understand how we can put these burdens down gradually.
I practice the body and mind observation for the past four years. I answered some questions related to the body and mind observation. I’d like to share my experience with you. Please take some time to visit these questions:

Take deep breaths, inhale in for four seconds while counting in your head and then exhale for the same amount of time. Do this when ever you feel nervous, its a yoga practice that has helped me amazingly.
