Comment Rule 1: Ignore Those Other Rules. (Score 1) 1081
Don't go to University thinking you have to measure up to someone else's standards for what you have to do there (e.g. the list from one to seven posted earler). The most important thing about University is developing your sense of self and preparing yourself for your real life. To that end, do expose yourself to different aspects of university life: go see a lecture, some art films, a ska band, but don't feel that you have to drink 14 Coors Light's every night and try to hit on every skanky chick in your dorm to get the "true college experience".
Like a lot of Slashdot readers, you may not be physiologically wired to enjoy people hanging around you in close quarters for eight months at a time. This is not a fault with you, don't be afraid to go read a book or surf the web somewhere quiet, like the library. It would probably also be good to find a place off-campus where you can escape the pressure for a while. Keeping fit and active is also always an excellent idea and should help with University stress.
