I met my soon-to-be-wife in college. Freshman year too. :)

Key point: College is not high school. The people who still act like it is aren't worth hanging out with. Cliques and "in" and "out" crowds are bullshit, and if the people you're around can't respect how you roll, fuck them, whether you want to socialize/party more or less. Take advantage of the core/general classes to get to know people outside of your program, because the fairly limited amount of people you'll see most within your program for the next 4 years may or may not be the kinds of people you want to see outside of class.
But I repeat, college is not high school. It is the chance to have a clean slate and be who you want to be rather than be how others perceive you. Take full advantage of that.

I go to a very... uh, well, my school is hardish to get into. it really bothers me that I feel like I'm either working or drinking 24/7 (mostly working). it's really tough for me to handle all of this. I think I blacked out for the first time last night.

Andy, if it's an art school I'm assuming you don't sit in a lecture hall and listen to some old guy talk for four and a half hours straight. You're probably doing something productive. If not, then I am truly sorry.

I know this is a little late. But I have two classes that are mostly work, one class that is half lecture, and one four and a half hour lecture of art culture/philosphy. And Holy shit, When my proffs said that I should expect 10 hours of homework minimum a week, they weren't kidding.
Besides that, so uh. University makes me feel really smart, especially my visual culture class because I grasp all the concepts and talk to my teacher and she loves me but everyone else hates me in that class because I am hermione granger in it oh jesus.
(I have never felt smart before in my life. People are constantly looking at me like I just spoke french, it is the best. I don't care if I don't have a social life, feeling smart is bomb)
