I Clicked a School Invite Phishing Email and Logged In With Google

A reddit report about a phishing scam that cost someone Amount not specified. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

So I got an email from someone from my school saying I was invited to something even though I'm not really friends with them, but I'm stupid so I clicked it. It told me to log in with Google so I did, but then it took a super long time to load which made me anxious, so I closed the tab. I've done some research and everything I see is saying to change my password, but I can't because it's a school email so everything is very set in stone in terms of all my different school accounts and logins. I checked my login history to see if anything had happened since I visited the site and everything looks okay, so should I be worried or not? I get really anxious when it comes to hacking and such, so any advice or comforting comments would be greatly appreciated!!
