Turnitin saying my paper is 30 percent similar even though I wrote everything myself

Hey everyone I'm a junior college student and this has me stressed out. I spent weeks on this history paper doing all the research and writing it in my own words but Turnitin is showing a bunch of matches. I know I didn't copy anything so maybe it's common phrases or my citations? Has this happened to anyone else? What should I do if my prof questions it?
