After a 6 month long battle I finally got my very first front end developer internship (Mainly will be working in react ) I m not very experienced when it comes to front end development,
besides having a bunch of side projects that I made in react and Im onlyy in my sophomore year in college.
This is why I am kind of nervous about this new job. What if I am not good enough? Will I be the "stupid developer" in the group? What if I fail my tasks? These are doubts/questions I ask myself everyday.
Is this normal? How can I handle this stress and imposter syndrome? Any tips?

Yes, it's totally normal to be a little overwhelmed and filled with self-doubt.
But, it's completely up to you how to handle it. I recently transitioned back into software/electrical engineering after a 10 year hiatus while I taught middle school math. I loved education and I loved being an inspiration to young people for 10 years, but I couldn't afford to feed my family with a job in education. So I came back to engineering.
My advice to you is to take it one day at a time. Listen intently and learn from the people around you. Don't be afraid to ask questions, and take the time to look stuff up for yourself. Be intrinsically motivated and work hard. Let that hard work speak on your behalf as to what you're capable of. I taught myself Python in 7 months-ish and have been a great asset for my company. Am I a fluent Pythonic programmer? No. But I work hard and create quality products that my employer values. I work hard at work, show up on time, have a positive attitude, and I'm always ready to learn something new.
I believe in you. Keep your eyes on the prize. Keep working hard in school and your job. You'll be alright and come out on top! Best of luck!
