Started a new job and the processes are extremely specific. I'm the youngest one in the office by 5 years. I've been there 2 days and the other guy they hired along with me started too. One of my references responded late which means I couldn't get my computer and everything set up so I've been trying to learn a system without actually being able to use it. The other guy has his and I feel like he's a step ahead already because he has the tools he needs to learn. I won't get my computer until next Monday
I just feel pressured to perform already two days in. I'm also already missing social events with my coworkers because I'm still in school. They went out to happy hour the first day on the job and I had class. So it's already hard to connect with them.
Just be yourself and don't try so hard to fit in. Almost all workplaces you'll fit in aslong long as your easy and cool to work with. Adults for the most part realise people have lives out of work and different personality
