Scared of international internship

Hey! I have to opportunity to do a 5 month international internship in September. I found a cool company in Norway where I wanna apply. Yes it’s a very cool and good experience, But there is a problem:

I’m 19 years old, I’ve never left my hometown and parents longer for 2 weeks, I’m homesick and really afraid to go. I will be having to do everything alone, living alone, which will probably be difficult. I have a friend I recently met online who lives in the same city as the company. I feel kinda weak admitting all this, but yeah.. I’m just scared.

Sorry if this is a bit of a vent, but I do wanna ask you guys for advice!

Thank you
