How to stop being anxious about calling in to work?

I'm a college student, and I've called in to work a fair few times this semester, and I feel guilty about it every time. It's just a retail job, so I know it's not too big a deal, but I don't know if I'll get in trouble for it or what. I'm used to being yelled at for infractions, and my anxiety always flares up every time I call in, that this will be the time they write me up or fire me. I always have a reason for doing so, whether being sick, having family obligations, or being busy with schoolwork, but that never helps. I'm usually a good worker when I'm there, but I know they'll just remember me calling in all the time. Any advice on what to do?
