I've been involved in the college scene for quite a while now, and there's still one thing I've had trouble getting through.
Cliques are only there when you make them.
Looking at the people you went to high school with day after day, you may want to think that they're still the people that wouldn't sit with you at lunch, or the ones who knocked your books down the stairs two minutes after the bell rang.
But in all reality, once we're stripped of our "crews", we're nothing but scared hamsters searching for a cardboard tube. The only people that retain their "douchebag" attitudes from high school are usually the ones that go onto community college surrounded by their minions. They even sit together in the cafe. But these people are of no consequence.
Direct yourself instead to the scared hamsters mentioned above. These are the people you'll meet most often. They could be your parents' age, they could be younger than you, they could even be people from around your own town. The worst you can do is fear them. They are not here to make fun of you, they are here to learn just like you.
